[Bm] [Em] You don't want [Am] them [G] slandering your name [Bm] when they find [A] your face down on the muddy [Em] side of [Am] town.
[G]
[Bm] [Em] [Am] [G]
[Bm] [Em] So [Am] keep your [G] eyes on the [Bm] road ahead [Em] and do your best [Am] not to stray [G] too far.
[Bm] You [Em] see the [Am] end's gonna [G] come now soon [Bm] enough.
[Em] It don't [Am] matter who [Em] you are.
So don't think [Am] no less [G] of your humble [Bm] possessions when [Em] you see all [Am] the money [G] they owe.
[Bm] [Em] Cause all the [Am] gold they got [G] ain't gonna [Bm] change a thing.
[A] And it ain't, it ain't [Em] gonna save their souls.
[Am] [Em]
[G] Cause where [B] we've been and where [Em] we're from and you can do [A] the same and go and get [G] you some.
But when the lights [B] go out you're sitting [Em] all alone with no money, [A] no friends, and nowhere to begin.
And prodigal, [Em] it's your own damn fault.
[Am] [G] [Bm] [Em]
[Am] [G] [Bm] [Em]
Passing out the blame, trying to keep yourself afloat these days.
Well everybody gather over here.
He's got a mouth full of poison and [Em] some time to waste.
Seeing you coming [Am] down the [G] road, [Bm] crawling back home, [Em] I guess [Am] everything's gone.
[G] [Bm] And everybody goes [Em] and now the only thing [Am] left [G] is the way [Bm] you left [Em] it.
You had [Am] a good run [G] and now you're chasing [Bm] regrets [G] and self.
Where [B] we've been and where [Em] we're from and you can do [A] the same and go and get [G] you some.
But when the lights [B] go out you're sitting [Em] all alone with no money, [A] no friends, and nothing
left [G] to show.
Where [B] we've been and where [Em] we're from and you can do [A] the same and go and get [G] you some.
