American Car: mike doughty
tabbed: brett5
standard tuning

                               
My circus train pulls through the night
Full of lions and trapeze artists
Im done with elephants and clowns
I want to Run away and join the office

                    
Aimless sister, youre surrounded
Angel-faced and Im astounded
 
How sweet you are

How sweet you are
 
                           
In your long, black American car
                              
And you know just where to find me
                    
If I dont know who you are
                     
You will remind me

                         
Theres a girl down in the bar
A flaming star upon her shoulder
Slugging hot pink frozen drinks
To put the foot down on her smolder

                     
Easy, cowboy, whats the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
 
How sweet you are

How sweet you are

                   
All the lazy days are gone
Still the grind is grinding on
Throw the memories in a drawer
Lock myself behind a door

                    
Aimless sister, youre surrounded
Angel-faced and Im astounded
Easy, cowboy, whats the rush now?
She may cleave me like a snowplow
 
How sweet you are

How sweet you are

                          
In your long, black American car
                              
And you know just where to find me
                    
If I dont know who you are
