Call it one drink too many Call it pride of a man But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand 'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin
We do it over and over and over again We do it over and over and over again
Oh -oh -oh -oh (slow) (straight strumming) Oh -oh -oh -oh (build) Oh -oh -oh -oh I know there's California, Oklahoma And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with Whiskey rivers These are the places you will find me hidin' These are the places I will always go (not slow) These are the places I will always go (not slow) I am on my way (slow) I am on my way (slow) I am on my way back to where I started
Oh -oh -oh -oh (straight strumming) Oh -oh -oh -oh (build) (continued in the background) One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls I hail your face, and then I saw you standing out I saw your face in the crowd and you came out You saw me crossing the valley and you came in There was a sign on the door and it reads to me Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in Oh -oh -oh -oh (straight strumming) Oh -oh -oh I am on my way (slow) I am on my way (slow) I am on my way back to where I started California, Oklahoma And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with Whiskey rivers These are the places you will find me hidin' These are the places I will always go (slow) These are the places I will always go (slow) So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
