lyrics

Verse 1 [Em] / [E] vamp
I'm not Kyle Connor
I don't live on the edge
I'm not born to wander
Like my Grandpa Getch

[Fm] / [F] vamp
I'm not Tom Moloughney
Stuck in 70 mph range tests
I have to go to the bathroom
Every hour or so when I drive out of range (so I charge)

Chorus
[G] I'm not [D] cannonballin'
[G] Not trying to be the [D] fastest
[G] Can't afford a [C] Porsche Taycan for [G] racing
[G] From the east to the [D] west
[G] Just give me a Ford that [D] lasts

Verse 2 [Em] / [E] vamp (repeat twice)
I'm not draining the battery
I don't have that kind of nerve
Being towed once was enough at an EVSE
I don't need to optimize a charging curve

Instrumental verse

Repeat chorus

Bridge
[Am] Man I need a decent [C] buffer
[D] As least enough charge to get to the [C] next reliable [G] station
[Em] In case the next one is out of power, unavailable, ICE'd, or charging slowly
[Am] Watching these Youtuber's suffer
[D] To get more [C] drama and more [G] views
[D] To save a few minutes on the [C] way to a [G] destination
I'd rather enjoy the journey driving our Mustang Sally

Repeat chorus

Repeat first half of verse 1

Outro (repeat and fade)
[Em] I'm not [E] cannonballin'
[Fm] I'm not [F] cannonballin'
