Intro: A Asus A Asus
A D A
Shooting stars and whiskey bottles all scattered across the yard
D A E
I’d have stayed back home in Houston if I’d known it’d be this hard
A D A
Ah but as it is I’m busted broke down across the bay
D A E
And I might not make December if we keep carrying on this way
A D A
Pretty girls and deep depressions keep falling from the sky
D A E
I got all the time in heaven but no sense to wonder why
A D A
And the nights have all gone crazy and the bars have all shut down
D A E
One day I swear I’ll blow it all, pack up, and leave this town
D A D A
And sometimes I get so tired of telling right from wrong
A E D A
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long
A Asus A Asus
A D A
Here I am in Music City, long nights and neon signs
D A E
And I can’t seem to remember what I came so far to find
A D A
Police cars and paper money motel rooms and cigarettes
D A E
Yeah, they tell you, you ain’t nothin’ just in case you might forget
A D A
I can hear the country music in the window up above
D A E
Do they do it for the money, do they do it for the love?
A D A
Bourbon eyes and stolen pistols seems all that comes my way
D A E
I’m gonna burn down all my bridges, grab a car, and drive away
D A D A
And sometimes I can’t believe I did all that for a song
A E D A (solo)
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long
Solo: A E D E D
A D A
We could make Louisiana in two hours’ time
D A E
We could pull off of the highway by the big casino sign
A D A
We could take up all our wishes and bet ‘em all on black
D A E
Hit the lights of Mississippi with the south wind at our back
D A D A
And it’s always been the same down every road I’ve gone
A E D A
Hey, I’m glad I came, just wish I hadn’t stayed so long
A Asus A Asus A Asus A
