Cadillac Pussy Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

G
I seen a fly slimmy on the avenue
When i was on tour in baton rouge
A mean little missy with a attitude
I played it smooth
No need to be rude
C
I stopped the ship
Stepped off like chewie..
G
Ran some game like louie louie
D
Talked her on the bus
C
Talked her out of her shorts
G
No lie y'all, im here 2 report

G
She had some cadillac pussy
Some cadillac pussy
She had some cadillac pussy
D
She had some cadillac pussy
C  G
Man it would drive you wild

Do It For You Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

A                            C#m
Been sittin alone / Thinking about the past
F#m                             A
Another lonely night / Another empty glass
D                                F                      D              A
This path Im walking / Always seems to lead nowhere
A                                     C#m
I wonder how much you think of me
F#m               A
How we used to lough / How we used to be
D                               F                         D                A
It seems like freedom / Has never had a man so scared

CHORUS:
A                      E         D
Times might change / Love it comes and goes
F#m                              E                                   D
How I wished I could have shown you / How deep for you my love goes
A                            C#m                    F#m                  A
I know this might seem crazy / I would end my life for you
D
You know I dont want to
E                           A           E                        A
But Id do it for you / Hey Id do it for you

I wonder how much you think of me
It hurts to think the past  / Is all that you can see
Now it seems like freedom / Is better than the love we shared

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Listem to me
I wonder how long it takes to see
Theres nothing more I want / Then you here with me
Freedoms been knockin / But i refuse to let her in

Time might change / Love it comes and goes
How I wished I would have shown you / How deep for you my love goes
And I know this might sounds crazy / I would end my life for you
You know I dont want to
Come bock home and care for you
Baby Id do anything for you
Id do anything for you

Have you ever seen the sun over the rocky mountain shine
AM                      Em               G      
Or touched the sands of a southern Florida beach

Have you seen a grown man cry
C  
Or a child that's slowly dying

Have you looked inside to see all that you can see

A Montana storm or a warm Kentucky rain
Em7
Have you heard the love that sings
C      
Over a inner city sidewalk
AM          C                  G
Have you risen above all that leads to hate


G
And I am Boston and D.C.
C
And all of Detroit city
AM                   Em                 G
I am everything that Hollywood wants to be
Em7
I am southern rock and roll

Country hip hop and soul

But you'll never put your finger on me

and this bird you cannot change and this bird youll never change
F        C         D
oh no I cant change

(cmon---get it) this next part rocks, but the only thing in its the solo. you figure that one out, and
it

I get a feeling of peace, from a low so high
As I sit in my chair and watch life go by
These thoughts I have can't mold to sense
Through the forest of my mind, they're all past tense
Born and raised in the outer lands
And at times you can say I'm outta hand
I'm in a band of gypsies, we're on the run
Everytime that paper hits my tongue
And sometimes it seems so odd
When my veins are poppin and I'm on the nod
I am the bullgod...you understand
And here in my head is my master plan, Uh

Lonely Road Of Faith Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

[C9]Up and down that [G]lonely road of[D]faith
[D]I have been there
[C9]Unprepared for the[G]storms and the tides that[D]rise
[C9]I've realized one[G]thing, how much I[D love you
[D]And it hurts to see, see you cryin'
[C9]I believe we can[G]make it through the winds of[D]change

(Series of woo, whos)

[C9]God is great in[G]deed
If you [D]believe, in the everlife
[D]Yeah we gotta
[C9]Make some sense of the [G]piece that's not [D]defined
[C9]And if you just hold [G]on, I wont let [D]ya fall (I wont let you fall no)
[C9]We can make it through the [G]storms and the winds of [D]change

(Dont know the chords for this part, sorry)

Though I walk through the valley of darkness
I am not afraid Cause I know I'm not alone

And if the wind blows east, would you follow me
And if the wind blows north, would ya stay your course
And if the wind blows west, would ya second guess
And if it blows to the south, would you count me out
And if the sun don't shine, would you still be mine
And if the sky turns grey, would you walk away
Would you say I do, if I say I'll be
And walk this road through life with me
You know I love youuuuuu

[C9]On this lonely [G]road of [D]faith
[C9]On this lonely [G]road of [D]faith

Midnight Train To Memphis Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

Verse 1:

[D] I was hiding from the sun once again,
[D] I was running from the time my friend,
I've [A] lost another war.
So, I [G] poured one more,
and went home drunk [D] again.

[D] She was up when the key hit the lock,
[D] and the clock looked at me just like
the [A] devil in disguise.
I saw it [G] in her eyes-
she'd be gone before the [D]evenin'.

Refrain:
[G] So, I poured another strong one
and chopped a line from here to [D] Texas.
[G] Cause I've lost another good one -
she's on the midnight train to [D] Memphis.

Verse 2:
[D] With a brand new start,
[D] I swore I'd love from the heart,
I meant to [A] change my ways.
But I've seen [G] better days,
than the one's that's here this [D] mornin'.

[D] With a wife and kids at home
[D] with a job some where
on some [A] assembly line.
I wish [G] I had that life-
I bet you wish you had [D] mine.

Refrain:
[G] So, let's pour another tall one
and chop a line from here to [D] Texas.
[G] Cause I've lost another good one-
she's on the midnight train to [D] Memphis

[Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes]
[Last verse - guitar with moderate distortion]

Verse 3:
[D] With an old suitcase,
[D] I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you [A] back in time
Can't drink you [G] off my mind.
So, I'll see you when I'm [D] sober.

Refrain:
[G] I been looking for some reasons,
but I ain't found one down in [D] Texas
I been [G] changing with the seasons,
Walkin a new line back to [C] [A#] [G] Memphis.

Only God Knows Why Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

E
I've been sittin' here
B
Tryin' to find myself
A
I get behind myself
E
I need to rewind myself

Lookin' for the payback
B
Listen for the playback
A                         E
They say that every man bleeds just like me

And I feel like number one
B
Yet I'm last in line
A
I watch my youngest son
E
And it helps to pass the time
B
I take too many pills it helps to ease the pain
A                       E
I made a couple dollar bills still I feel the same

Everybody knows my name
B
They say it way out loud
A
A lot of folks fuck me
E
It's hard to hang out in the crowd

I guess that's the price you pay
D
To be some big shot like I am
A
Outstretched hands and one night stands
E                            C#m
Still I can't find love
F#m                                     C#m
And when your walls come tumbling down
F#m        A
I will always be around

Bridge (E|B|D|A|E)  2x      C#m
F#m                                     C#m
And when your walls come tumbling down
F#m        A
I will always be around
E                           B
People don't know about the things I say and do
D    A                           E
They don't understand about the shit that I've been through
B
It's been so long since I've been home
A                          E
I've been gone....I've been gone for way too long
E                  B
Maybe I forgot all things I've missed
A                             E
Oh somehow I know there's more to life than this

I said it too many times
B
And I still stand firm
A
You get what you put in
E
And people get what they deserve

Still I ain't seen mine
D
No I ain't seen mine
A
I've been giving just ain't been gettin'
E
I've been walking down that line

So I think I'll keep on walking
B
With my head held high
A                  E
I'll keep moving on and only God knows why
E            B
Only God.....only God
A         E
Only God knows why
E      D        A           E                   D A
Only God....knows....why why why only God knows why
E               D A
Take me to the river...hey
E               D  A
Won't you take me to the river...hey hey hey

Rock 'n' Roll Pain Train Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

G
15 years on this lonely road

I paid my own way I carried my own load
C
I never asked too much from no one
G
I was much too proud
DC                          G
All i ever wanted Was to play music for A sold out crowd

G
Bitches, money fame They say i had it all
C
6 foot 1 I walked around like i was 10 feet tall
G
Did you see me shine
DCG
Where the hell where you now Detroit city back in 99
Stoned out of my mind

C
On that rock-n-roll pain train
G
I had to slow things down
C
I live out in the woods now
D
It helps me keep my feet on The ground
C
Lifes been good to me so far
G
Hope its been kind to you
D
Stand strong in the storms of life
C                                 G
The sun will always shine on you

Now ive been rollin on love n lust
I ride around on this million dollar bus
But this is just a bus man
I cant sleep at night
Man i miss my babies
And id really like to fuck my wife
But she aint there tonight

Ive seen this train wreck
Time and time again
I felt its pain
Ive seen it take my friends
Youve got to stop and take a look man
Or life will pass you by
Get your guitar and a good song
Thats all you really need to ride

Run Off To LA Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

D
This here aint no love song
And it aint for you
G
Its for the folks that relate to
D
What ive been going through
A
Its for the 40 hour overtime
G
Workin man
A
And too the good women out there
G              D
I know youll understand

D
Why dont you run off to L.A.
And lose your mind
G
And get some energy docter to tell
D
You everything is fine
A                                           G
We can still be friends like you talk about
A
But first give me back them pearls
G                   D
And the keys to my fuckin house
Get out

They say all wee need is just a little patience
But what do you do when your woman
Is too high maintenance yea
Im hatin to admit it
Even if its your wife
Tell her pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life

Its a classic line baby
I just wanna be friends
But baby my friends dont haver the keys to my mercedes benz, no
I think i know what you mean
You wanna talk and such
Tell me all your problems
But we dont fuck
Aint that right
I had plenty of friends before i met you
I dont need no more
So now i thinks its time you started headin out for that
doorand even tho i feel real bad tonight
Please pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life

They say all we need is juat a little patience
Yea
But what do you do when your woman is too high maintenance
I know
Im hatin to admit it even if its your wife
Tell her to pack your bags
And take the first train out of my life

Why dont you run off to L.A.
And lose your mind
Youve got 15 minutes and
I think your wasting time yea
Its easy to see when youve lost your mind
But here ill be when you decide to come back blind
You were a midwest girl who says
She liked to drink beer and hang
And now your walkin red carpets talkin new york hip hop slang
And even though i might break down
And cry tonight
Please pack your shit
And take the first train out of my life oh yea yea

Son Of Detroit Chords and Lyrics
by: Kid Rock

Riff (verses)
I like to play hank williams jr records
Just as loud as they will rock
Im into lynyrd skynyrd run dmc
And that american pimp kid rock
I like willie, waylon, george and merle and a lot of zz top
I like country, soul, rock-n-roll
And i love me some hip hop

Chorus
DA
Im a redneck rock-n-roll son of detroit
I dont like no new wave
B
Techno bands around
D       A
Im a drink a couple dozen beers
D                              A
Go out and jam some gears
D                      A           E
Im a long haired redneck rock-n-roll
A
Son of detroit

Riff
I got bougart and west coast chopper
That sure makes them bitches stare
Got a dead flamingo wrapped around this cowboy hat i wear
I like 2 cuss, yell, scream. fight
And raise all kinds of hell
And if you ride to live like i live to ride
Then let me hear that rebel yell

riff
I like my whiskey straight up daiquiris
Make me ill
And if someone touches my beaver skins
I get mad enought to kill
I got a rifle rack in my pick up truck
Im a four wheelin maniac
And if you wanna race
Just name the place
And ill show you where its at
