Holding The Bag

By Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley

Chorus:

C F

You always leave me holdin’ the bag

G C

Don’t you know it’s getting’ pretty heavy to drag

C F

You think it’s funny but it ain’t no gag

G C

How come you always leave me holdin’ the bag

C F

Remember out in Austin that time that we got tight

G C

You told that old boy that I wanted to fight

C F

Now, Moe you know I really thought, uh, that you could win

D G

And I didn’t se no sense in me a-steppin’ in

F C

You almost got me killed when you started to brag

G C

And that’s when you ran off and left me holdin’ the bag

Chorus

Remember back in Nashville when wee picked up them two

That old ugly one for me and the pretty one for you

Well, Joe, I bought the gas and it was my car

And I got stuck for all the beer at the bar

Yeah you were up front playin’ lover’s tag

While I was in the back seat just-a holdin’ the bag

Chorus

Change key to C# (C#, F#, G#)

Remember when I needed your alibi

My wife called you up and you didn’t lie

Now that’s not as bad as when you had me to drive

And I ended up with that DWI

Now after all we’ve done, it’s a wonder we’re friends

But ole pal you know we’ll do it again

Change key to D (D, G A)

Chorus
