Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you

Just like last time when the feathers flew
G D7
You're runnin' wild, a-kickin' up your heels
C D7 G
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
G D7
Well, I can't live without you and you know it's true
C G
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do?
G D7
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
C D7 G
And maybe by then, you'll appreciate a good man

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why?

When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
