[Bb] You know, we think about that shit that that guy was saying and we look at these fur coats and pretty guitars and fancy cars and say,
Wow, man, what am I doing?
You know?
So when somebody gets up and freaks out like that, you know, it kind of strikes a nerve and you end up right back in that old trap.
And where that guy [D] is at is in that same trap and that's getting mad about something.
And that ain't, you know, nothing, you know, and I had some guys around to love me out of it and I was lucky.
We got to just let it all be because it all will be however it's gonna.
Four and twenty years ago, come into this life.
Son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He [Dm] was [G] tired [D] of being poor.
And [Dm] he wasn't [Gm] into selling [D] door to door.
And [Dm] he were [Gm] like the devil [D] to be more.

[Dm] [Gm] Where is my woman?
[D] Can I bring her home?
Have [F] I driven her away?
[Gm]
[D] Is she gone?
Morning comes, the sun rises and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it [G] is empty and [D] there's a devil in my head.
I [F] embrace [G]
[D] the many colored beasts.
[F] I grow weary [Gm] of the torment.
[D] Can there be no peace?
[Dm] And I catch myself [Gm] just wishing [D] that my life would simply cease.
