It's A High Price For A Car 03:57

[D(G)] It's a high price for a car [Cmaj7(Fmaj7)] But it goes really far [B(E)] it's okay if this is a bad song [D(G)] Bought what we needed [Cmaj7(Fmaj7)] My own financial advice unheeded [B(E)] I think demand will continue to exceed supply [D(G)] Resulting in continued high prices [Cmaj7(Fmaj7)] But I want to be wrong [B(E)] About that Chorus [C7(F7)] Fifty five thousand It's a high price for a car, still cheaper than [F#7(B7)] Sixty five thousand According to my math [C7(F7)] We really needed the range Wanted the Mustang [F#7(B7)] Is that so strange Since I have had five ICE versions for 25 years of Mustang [D(G)] So where do we go next [C(F)] Now that the range shackles have been redirected [B(E)] This still feels like a bad song [D(G)] Cost is only numbers in an account [C(F)] I have no conception of the actual amount [B(E)] No need to be questioning why [D(G)] Since its all we need in a drive [C(F)] And feels strong [B(E)] And all that Repeat chorus [A(D)] I don't feel like this needs an unbridled bridge Gets to our destination fast enough as it is [D(G)] Three hundred miles [C(F)] Still brings me smiles [B(E)] 16 percent is like a full charge for Simone and Louie [D(G)] We named her Sally [C(F)] First out of town trip was across the alligator alley [B(E)] No more need to hypermile

Keep My Eyes On the Road 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Chorus [D] A light touch on the wheel A light tug on the wheel [A] Sally stays between the lines When there are lines [D] Sally follows the leading car Up to the speed limit [E] Keep my eyes on the road ([E] [A] vamp in verses throughout) A blue circle Protruded like a exercise ball With a gripping logo Going to work deluded Around the blue oval Green lines Are for keeping Between the edge and an escape Speed limit signs Tailgaters beeping In a hurry to go to their own wake Repeat chorus A few steering wheel buttons To make adjustments In heavier traffic Beware of lights and signals In case of misjudgment When the back of a dump truck looks like the road Or there is glare, heavy rain, or flying snow Repeat chorus Keep my eyes on the road Sally's camera eyes do not recognize stopped cars, anxious pedestrians or potential T-bones So don't be watching a movie or texting on your phone Sally only does the easy parts The measurable, repeatable, procedural parts Keep my eyes on the road

Intro [A2] They've never seen an electric car here before (repeat 2x) [A2] Growing up in a nowhere town More easily lost and never found [B4/A] Miles away from anywhere you've been Learned that pretty much everything is a sin [A2] Growing up in a nowhere town [A2] They've never seen an electric car here before Just sprawling junkyards of gas cars rusting disintegrating and more [B4/A] In a trailer park next to the railroad tracks I only know that I hain't goin' back [A2] They've never seen an electric car here before [C] Stuck at an Electrify America in a Wal-Mart parking lot [G] Looks like this is my last trip to DuBois [Em] How do I even say it [A4] A place that makes me grateful for what I now have got Left that home town from where I'm disconnected [C] The car won't start I can't go anywhere [G] There is not even an Uber driver around here [Em] Feeling frustration This is not exactly what I thought for vacation [A4] Taking care of what I'm not sure At least I proved to myself that the drive is possible [A2] Darkness is falling on the asphalt parking lot Its a long walk to the hotel [B4/A] with ten bags a guitar and no sidewalks This trip seemed like a good idea a few weeks ago [A2] In theory this should have been all over years ago [A] Its not my house Never was supposed to be my house [B4/A] If it was then why am I staying at the Holiday Inn Express I'm grateful for the good Sam charging his Bolt [A2] Offered me a ride to the hotel [A2] They've never seen an electric car here before At least there is an exit [B4/A] A hotel with an outdoor plug where mom used to serve caffeine to the truck drivers [A2] They've never seen an electric car here before Repeat Intro

Dance of the Electrons 01:25
lyrics

3/4 time ukelele [G] [C] [D] A giant game of musical chairs Electrons go around and around and around Looking for that empty seat Pumped in a J1772 induced current The thermistor makes a humming sound Where there are lots of protons and neutrons to meet There is a hidden cost for the last empty slots Just like extra roaming in a parking lot The day before Christmas Eve When the wind is gale force And gift ideas are nowhere to be found of course And I've got nothing up my sleeve
