A                  G               D            A
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon

Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in

Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
A                    G       D        A
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again

And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face

For his patience and grace
