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
