A5 I've been beat up bad, I've been kicked around A5 D5 I've been thrown out of every damn bar in this old town A5 In this old town E5 I guess they don't like the way we like to have our fun E5 'Cause I'm always out there and I'm on the run E5 A5 And I'm runnin' and a gunnin' and a lookin' for a damn good time A5 I've done so much trip they can't look me in the eye D5 'Cause I'm always tryin' to find that umltimate high E5 A5 And I had me a hero, and his name was David Allan Coe A5 Well I was runnin' real hard and he was runnin' real fast D5 But we got cut up, up there at the pass E5 And we ended up at this bar on the side of that road I've done so much trip they can't look me in the eye 'Cause I'm always tryin' to find that ultimate high And I was hangin' out with my hero, his name is George Jones Well I was messed up bad, and he was messed up right And me and him , well we almost got in a fight But we ended up at this bar on the side of that road Chorus Chorus
