       D
I was running through the desert
I was looking for drugs,
           Bm
And I was searching for a woman
Who was willing to love,
            A
So I could take her like a woman.
      G
Yeah take her like a woman.

                     D
I was looking for a bad girl
Looking for a bad boy,
                   Bm
Someone who could take all the night away.
                  A
Oh baby I could shake it like a woman.
       G
Yeah shake it like a woman.

           D
I got the eyes on me of a jealous man,
                Bm
And if you're looking to run
Well then you've already ran.
    A
I break down like a woman.
    G
I break down like a woman.

Chorus:
              E
I go back to Rock City,
That's where she saw me,
Everybody's seen her,
Everyone believes me.

I've been several miles and plenty more
And I found myself face-first on the floor
Searching for something
But never finding something
And I don't know where I belong
I'm just trying to get myself back home
And get a little work
Yeah find my little woman

Chorus:
And I go back to Rock City
That's where she saw me
Everybody's seen her
Everyone believes me

D                         Bm
Oh my my, oh my my, oh my my.
   A
I need to find something.
     G
I'm searching for something.

Chorus:
I go back to Rock City
That's where she saw me
Everybody's seen her
Everyone believes me
I go back to Rock City
That's where she saw me
Everybody's seen her
Everyone believes me
