_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Abm]
So I have a good friend of mine come out here for a minute. _
He's [Ab] actually, he's actually been in the hospital [E] for a while.
It's a good story [Ebm] behind [A] my friend. _ _
[F] _ [Ab] I found him driving my bus. _ _ _
_ He [Bbm] was driving my tour [E] bus and I caught him [N] one day in the front lounge of the bus [E] playing his dope rope.
[N] And I really didn't have any idea. _
And [Ab] what I heard was absolutely [D] amazing.
[Abm] I started having him come out and play country with me [N] every night during the Saturday. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So he ended _ up coming down and recording the record with me.
And now instead of driving the bus, he's riding the bus. _ _ _ _

_ [Db] Of this _ [Bbm] haunting tomb.
_ _ [Eb] And I'm thinking _ about_
_ [Ab] _ _
Leaving.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] But I've burned all my bridges.
