E

My drinking days are over

A E

No more nights at the Carousel

E

My buddies say they're gonna miss me but

E B

Who could ever tell

A E

I never knew what time it was

E A

Til closing time came round

E B

My drinking days are over

A E

But I'm still troublebound

E

I used to hang at the Horseshoe

A E

You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke

E

I'd take my gal to The Gaslight

E B

We lived on whiskey and smoke

A E

Don't know how it all started

E A

Didn't mean to hurt no one

E B E

Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone

Well it was way past midnight

Anetta hollered out last call

I turned around and Wranglin' Ron

Was headed for a brawl

I didn't know that other guy was a cop

I guess I didn't care

Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair

Chorus

Steel solo

I got a ride out to Huntsville

I'll be there for a while

Staring out a mesh window

Mile after mile

I don't have any regrets, well

Maybe just a few

But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do

Chorus
