Took a big trip, With your old band To your homeland, For the wrong man Making big plans, For your own sake Hope they don’t bend, Hope they don’t break Repeat chord pattern: (ba ba ba...) Took a tip from a rodeo show Get a grip or you’re gonna get thrown Take your aim when you take a shot For the man under you will take everything you got Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren’t looking Keep a smile but you burn it hot It’s a mad, mad, world Na na na na na na (X4) Take the pills that they give you mornings Spit them out when they aren’t looking Fix a smile but you burn it hot It’s a mad, mad, world The chord change from for parts.
