Tom: E E My drinking days are over A E No more nights at the Carousel E My buddies say they're gonna miss me but E B Who could ever tell A E I never knew what time it was E A Til closing time came round E B My drinking days are over A E But I'm still troublebound E I used to hang at the Horseshoe A E You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke E I'd take my gal to The Gaslight E B We lived on whiskey and smoke A E Don't know how it all started E A Didn't mean to hurt no one E B E Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone Well it was way past midnight Anetta hollered out last call I turned around and Wranglin' Ron Was headed for a brawl I didn't know that other guy was a cop I guess I didn't care Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair Chorus Steel solo I got a ride out to Huntsville I'll be there for a while Staring out a mesh window Mile after mile I don't have any regrets, well Maybe just a few But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do Chorus
