Key: G
Introduction:
C D G
Well I almost bummed a ride from Kansas City
C G D
Would've had me home 2 months ago, time for easter anyway
C D G Em
It took 16 days to thumb back east to Nashville
C D C G
I just got outside of our town with that trucker yesterday
C D G
And I guess I hoped she might still be here a-waitin'
C G D
And I know you and all the boys got money in your hands
C D G Em
And I'm sorry and I thought that I was stayin'
C D C G
But I know she's got her reasons but she don't understand
C D G
So tell the cops to head on back to town
C D G
And make all them pretty women settle down
C D G G/F# Em
And if our shoulder drinkin', backwards thinkin' don't just cut it here
C D
Buddy when you won't meet me on St. Patricks Day next year
C G
I'll be 1500 miles before I'm gone
C G
And I'll still be wishin' I'd be stayin on
C D G G/F# Em
But I called her up just like I did a hundred times before
C D C G
And she told me almost doesn't count no more
Chorus
