[Em] [C] And [G] now, [D] literally, a Texas music legend that really needs no introduction.
The one, the only, my pal, [A] Delbert McClinton.
[E] Enjoy, y'all.
We're doing, uh, Why Me.
[D] Well, I wrote [A] this song with Fred Noblock shortly after [E] I'd moved to Nashville.
And, uh, [G] we met, and, uh, [A] I had [E] the idea for the hook,
which is a [D] good thing to have when you're going to write, you know.
[A] And, uh, [E] he's a great writer, and, and we just had a, [G] I don't know,
we sat there and flew with it, and [A] after about 30 minutes, we had a song.
They don't all happen that easy, but that one did.

[Eb] Boy, he's hot.
_ [F] Yeah, I was working with my hair down, trying to [Bb] keep a groove alive.
_ _ She looked like a funny old flame, [Eb] boy, I'm glad you came.
_ [Bb] I just had [F] to meet her, she was the cutest [Bb] thing I'd ever seen.
_ She had on high-heeled boots, blonde [Eb] hair, and big little eyes.
_ _ [F] The way she would move it to the music [Bb] had me hypnotized.
_ _ I ran up to her and said, baby, [Eb] what's your name?
_ _ [Bb] Girl, I should have [F] known better now, I've only [Bb] got myself to blame.
_ She said, why _ [Eb] me?
_ _ [F] Falling like this is the very [Bb] last thing I need.

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Well, _ _ _ _ now we're probably drinking champagne, making every [Eb] joy in town.
_ _ [F] Five hundred [Fm] dollars, seven dollar [Bb] twat around.
_ By the time my money ran out, you know my [Eb] honey was gone.
_ [Bb] And I was crying out [F] loud to myself as I [Bb] was walking home.
_ I said, why, why, [Eb] why me?
_ _ [F] Falling like this is the very last [Bb] thing I need.
