G            Em              C             G
Let me introduce you to the featherweight queen
         D        Em                    C             G
She got Hollywood eyes, but she can't shoot what she see
G            Em                C              G
Momma was a dancer, and that's all that she knew
                 D           Em                 C            G
'Cause when you live in the desert that's what pretty girls do

Chorus:
              G  Em          C         G
I’m throwin' caution, what's it gonna be?
   D                  Em                 C         G
Tonight the winds of change are blowing wild and free
            G  Em    C           G
If I don't get out, out of this town
   D                Em               C        G
I just might be the one who finally burns it down
              G  Em C G
I'm throwin' caution
              G  D  Em C
I'm throwin' caution

Never had a diamond on the sole of her shoes
Just blacktop white trash straight out of the news
Doesn't like birthdays, they remind her of why
She can go straight from zero to the Fourth of July

Chorus

              G  D Em C
I'm throwin' caution
              Em D G C
I'm throwin' caution

'Cause it's some kind of sin
To live your whole life
On a might've been
I'm ready now
