Key: C
Introduction:
C
I've had fame and fortune,
F
Women come knock on my door.
G
I've lived to the limit,
C
And maybe a little bit more.
There are so many stories,
F
Of how I got out of control.
G
Some say it's a women,
C
Some say it's my troubled soul.
F
I'm like a crazy old soldier,
C
Fightin a war on my own.
G
Just me and the whiskey,
C
And the bottles are ten-thousand strong.
F
You'd think I'd give up,
C
As many times as I've been hit.
G
But like a crazy old soldier,
C
I just don't know when to quit.
C
Barrooms and bedrooms,
F
are just faces and places and names.
G
One's for the pleasure,
C
And lord knows what's for the pain.
I've tried to forget her,
F
And all of the things that we've done.
G
But as long as there's memories,
C
I'll never hang up my gun.
Sing Chorus
G
Like a crazy old soldier,
C
I just don't know when to quit.
