The Flusher G

G I like to drive fast, I love to push this car of mine.

But blue and red lights shining in my mirror just ruin my good time.
C I gotta find a flusher, a beamer or a Benz
G
Who will play my game of chance and blame I know we’ll be fast friends.
D C
Gotta find me a flusher, any make will do
G
But it’s a trick to make them want to play the game along with you.

Chorus: F C G F C G
Gonna find me a
bird dog, who’ll speed right in front of me.
F C G C A# A G RIFF
To flush out all the radar and take the heat off of me.

G I know it when I see it, a sporty foreign car.

They paid a fortune for it to travel like a star.
C They don’t wanna mingle with all of us “have nots”.
G
They wanna be in charge, lead the way, they wanna call the shots.
D C
But their egos are so fragile, they can hardly take a joke
G
I’ve found they’ll speed ahead of me with one strategic poke.

Chorus: F C G F C G
Gonna find me a bird dog, to speed right in front of me.
F C G C A# A G RIFF
To flush out all the radar and take the heat off of me.

Piano Solo: G C G D C G

Bridge: A# C A# A G
 That’s me in your mirror, I’m suddenly your biggest fan
C D
I’ll follow from a distance a little closer than you can stand.
C A# A G
And when you get fed up and push your pedal to the floor,
A D
I’ll give you space but follow so the speeding ticket’s yours. (Siren)

Guitar Solo: G C G D C G

G I might get sentimental, I might just shed a tear

When I pass your car pulled over, as you receive your souvenir.
C I still got miles ahead, got a long, long way to go
G
I gotta find another mark to take on your flusher role.
D C
Our drive together fleeting, oh the good times that we had.
G
So treasure your memento, is it wrong I don’t feel bad?

Chorus: F C G F C G
Gonna find me a bird dog, to speed along in front of me.
