Too Lazy to Work (Too Nervous to Steal)

By Br549

A

Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight in a cheap motel on the Missouri side

E

I had you out in my car in the parking lot

A

Early next morning we were driving east headed for the big city where I felt at least

E A

We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn’t talk

G

Well I spoiled it my speaking my swirling head

E

And your grown up eyes turned to me and said

Chorus:

D

There’s only one thing you got wrong with you

F#m

It ain’t the whole world looking at you

E

Why don’t you find yourself a life that’s real

A

Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal

Well we got to the city and you got a job delivering the LL Bean Catalog

I was bored and restless, didn’t know where to go

Now late one evening after I got up, my guitar and I found my way to a club

I saw that queen of diamonds work that big dance floor

Well she looked at me but I couldn’t go

That familiar face said do you wanna know

Chorus

Bridge:

B A

You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide

F#m E

No one’s got respect for a man going over the side

Well you went back to the station to make sure I was gone,

That bus was on time you didn’t have to wait long

I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me

Well that greyhound was cool after the summer heat,

I could still see your face from my window seat

I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief

But after miles and miles of that highway’s drone

I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone

Chorus
