Standard (EADGBE)

Blew my last twenty dollars on a Oiler's football game

I only lost by half a point, nothing ever goes my way

Reagonomics and plastic people makin' good luck hard to find

All this stuff that's goin' down's really got me down this time

 I've been down but not this far before

I been kicked around but never out the door

 I been down but not like this before

Well the preacher man talking on the TV

He's beggin' for my only dime

I'd take another shot of whiskey

If I thought it'd get him off my mind

Chorus

I had to find a way to get some money

Never thought I'd go this far but it'd mean livin' out on the street

So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun

Had to shoot a cop comin' out the door and now, God, I'm on the run

Chorus
