INTRO: GTR1 plays FIG.1


VERSE1: GTR1 plays FIG.1
And from a tiny river town you came.
With momma's rockstar dreams in tow and daddy's brains.

With the way they rig this game, you had to fail.
C(let ring)
But that's all behind you now boy


VERSE2: GTR1 plays FIG.1, GTR2 plays FIG.2
And from a tiny river town you came.
With nothin' up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace.

VERSE3: GTR1 plays FIG.1
And from a tiny river town you came.
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days(GTR2 starts FIG.2)
