Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Shooting stars and whiskey bottles all scattered across the yard

 I'd have stayed back home in Houston if I'd known it'd be this hard

 Ah but as it is I'm busted broke down across the bay

 And I might not make December if we keep carrying on this way

 Pretty girls and deep depressions keep falling from the sky

 I got all the time in heaven but no sense to wonder why

 And the nights have all gone crazy and the bars have all shut down

 One day I swear I'll blow it all, pack up, and leave this town

 And sometimes I get so tired of telling right from wrong

Hey, I'm glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long

 Here I am in Music City, long nights and neon signs

 And I can't seem to remember what I came so far to find

 Police cars and paper money motel rooms and cigarettes

 Yeah, they tell you, you ain't nothin' just in case you might forget

 I can hear the country music in the window up above

 Do they do it for the money, do they do it for the love?

 Bourbon eyes and stolen pistols seems all that comes my way

 I'm gonna burn down all my bridges, grab a car, and drive away

 And sometimes I can't believe I did all that for a song

Hey, I'm glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long

Solo

 We could make Louisiana in two hours' time

 We could pull off of the highway by the big casino sign

 We could take up all our wishes and bet 'em all on black

 Hit the lights of Mississippi with the south wind at our back

 And it's always been the same down every road I've gone

Hey, I'm glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long
