Well the songs I make, they aint for living,
A G D A riff 1
And the things I take, they aint for giving.

Id gladly trade all my big city living,
A E A riff 2
For some rowdy women in a honky tonk tonight
A G D A harmonica riff
Well my mistakes give me my reputation,
A G D A riff 3
But them old sad songs were my education,
AGDAGD
And when I drift back home I start to missing
A walk E A
Some rowdy women, to pacify my mind
CHORUS

And now Im nine miles high, let me be forgiven, for giving
A walk E A
Some rowdy women, a little piece of my mind
