D G A G D
[Verse 1]
D G
South bound out of Shreveport heading hell bent for his grave
A G D
he reads a sign on the barn door that says the good lord Jesus saves
D G
But I don't think Jesus knows him cause he ain't the Jesus kind
A G D
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
[Verse 2]
D G
He gave the folks a good show at the shreveport coliseum
A G D
They all heard he's dying, so they all come out to see
D G
Friends and neighbors make him happy, lord them snuff queens treat him kind
A G D
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
[Chorus]
G D
Uppers, downers, turn arounders picked him up and laid him down
E A
his old troubles keep on swimming cause their to damn mean to drown
D G
He keeps looking for an answer I know he's never gonna find
A G D
He's a laid back country picker with a laid back country mind
[Instrumental]
D G A G D (play twice)
[Verse 3]
D G
Big Bertha back in Beaumont, says he really turns her on
A G D
she hits the floor a dancing, when the DJ plays his song
D G
You can see somebody loves him, or at least they did one time
A G D
He's a laid back country picker, with a laid back country mind
