Intro: Been on a barbed wire highway 40 days and nights I ain't complain'n and that's my job and it suits me right I got a sweet soul fever rushin' around my head I'm gonna sleep tonight in Maria's bed Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...

Hey Hey, Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na...
