The Week of Living Dangerously
Steve Earle
NC
Well I got outa work and I headed for
A
the neighborhood beer joint
E A
I sat around and had a beer with the boys like I always do
D A
Well I didn't have nothin' to say well there aint no point
E A
There's something about a Monday that always makes me blue
E
Well it was way after dark
A
so I knew the wife and kids were waitin'
E A
And I guess I took a left where I generally take a right
D
Well I filled 'er up with gas
A
And checked the oil at the Texaco station
E
I threw the car seat in the dumpster
A
And headed out into the night
Bridge
D G A
Woooo-ooo-oo-oo Blue Mood
E A
There's something about a Monday that always makes me blue
E A
Well I headed south on 35 hell bent for vinyl
E A
I hadn't never had her up past 55 before
D
Well somethin' 'bout that little
A
red line always looked so final
E A
Buddy you'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can go
E
Now, down in Mexico they've
A
got a little place called Boystown
E
Where a man's still a man
A
if you know what I'm talkin' about
D
Well, I walked into the Cadillac bar
A
and I laid my cash down
E
I said there's plenty more where that came from
A
and the lights went out
Bridge
Instrumental break
E E A A E E A A D D A A E E A A
E A
Well I woke up in a county jail 'cross the line in Laredo
E A
With a headache and a deputy staring at me through the door
D
Well he said Now how you got across
A
that river alive, I don't know
E
But your wife just made your bail
A
so now you're really dead for sure
E
Now my wife, she called my boss and cried
A
so I got my job back
E
And the boys down at the plant,
A
they whisper and stare at me
D
Yea well my wife can find a lot of little jobs
A
to keep me on the right track
E
Well, but that's a small price to pay
A
for a week of living dangerously
D G A
Yeah-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-wee
E A
That's a small price to pay for a week of living dangerously
Bridge + Instrumental
