Tom: C

C                                   G                          C
Too many days on the highway, then I run around all night long
C                                       F                        C
I take a good look in the mirror, in the cold gray light of dawn
C                             G                       C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong

[Verse 1]
C                                           F                            C
Runnin' with my buddies on the wild side has caused me a run of bad luck
C                                     G                                 C
Out all night with the roadhouse crowd, now I'm down to my last 2 bucks
C                                           F                              C
Pushin' way too hard tryin' to live too fast, puttin' too many wrinkles on
C                                   G                       C
Too many nights in the old roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong

[Chorus]
C                                       F                    C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, too much wine women and song
C                                   G                          C
Too many days on the highway, then I run around all night long
C                                       F                        C
I take a good look in the mirror, in the cold gray light of dawn
C                             G                       C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong

Well it's some kinda life I was livin' and it wasn't too hard to tell
C                                                G                             C
That the blues come around when the sun went down, my days didn't fare too well
C                                        F                               C
I sure did want a taste of the good life, 'til the good times come along
C                             G                       C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong

[Chorus]
C                                       F                    C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, too much wine women and song
C                                   G                          C
Too many days on the highway, then I run around all night long
C                                       F                        C
I take a good look in the mirror, in the cold gray light of dawn
C                             G                       C
Too many nights in a roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong

Too many nights in a roadhouse, run a little good boy wrong
