[A]
Early this morning, without any warning, [D] I took a look at [A] myself, good God.
[D] I seen how this married [A]-up life I've been living [B] was trying to choke [E] me to death.
I [F#] [E] [A] laid on the bed with my gun to my head and [D] I nearly about ended [A] it all.
[D] But I come to myself just [A] before I [F#] got killed and [B] I blowed me [E] some holes [A] in the wall.
I'm thinking about cracking my ragged old truck up [D] and hauling myself [A] into town.
[D] I'm thinking about raising [A] the dog on too much of hell till [B] I'm tired of living [E] all down.
I [A] lay around this place till I'm blue in the face and [D] I may well be [A] on the ground.
[D] I'm thinking about cracking [A] my ragged [F#] old truck up [B] and hauling [E] myself into [A] town.

Yeah, [A] it's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell [C#m] me [D] I can't go and have me [A] some fun.
So [D] before that old [A] heifer drives her back in [F#] from Waco, [B] you can bet your [E] rear-end I'll [A] be gone.
