[Intro]
G
I will eventually add the full tab for the finger picking - just a G-chord to start with
[Verse 1]
G D7 G C G
Well the world is on it's head and I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
G D7 G C G
I've spent my whole life in the red, and I've done my best to keep my family fed
G C G C G
When I lay my burdens down, keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
G D7 G C G
All my troubles and my trials lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
[Verse 2]
G D7 G C G
I've been paying my whole life, trying hard to find the blame for all my strife
G D7 G C G
I've been burning through my checks and I've never felt that gold around my neck
G C G C G
Aw but that gold it don't shine as bright as worn out steel rail on the line
G D7 G C G
If you go ride it you might find that the faces on you change with change in time
[Bridge]
G D7 G D7 G C G D7
[Verse 3]
G D7 G C G
I was a victim of a charge, made and spent life playing honky tonks and bars
G D7 G C G
But good times don't pay the bills, and a belly by itself does not fill
G C G C G
So I've been saving up my pay, waiting on a new uncloudy day
G D7 G C G
Watch all the hard times drift away and I'll no longer be chained to their dismay
[Verse 4]
G D7 G C G
Well the world is on it's head and I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
G D7 G C G
I've spent my whole life in the red, and I've done my best to keep my family fed
G C G C G
When I lay my burdens down, keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
G D7 G C G
All my troubles and my trials lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
G D7 G C G
All my troubles and my trials lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
