Tom: G
G
Early this mornin' without any warnin'
C G
I took a look at myself,
G G
I seen how this married up life I been livin'
A7 D
Was tryin' to choke me to death
G
I laid on my bed I put a gun to my head
C G
And I just about ended it all
C G Em
But I come to my senses just before I got killed
C D G
And I blowed me some holes in the wall
[Chorus]
G
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
C G
And haulin' my ass into town
G Em
I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
A7 D
That I'd have die just to live it all down
G C
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
G
I can't have some fun
C G Em
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
C D G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,
[Verse]
G
I'm a honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
C G
With a honky tonk girl on my arm
G G
I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
A7 D
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm,
G C
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
G
I can't have some fun
C G Em
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
C D G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,
[Outro]
C G Em
Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
C D G
And haulin' myself into town
