Capo 3  
 
C                                  F 
Livin' beyond my means, don't know how I'm gonna get by 
C                                G 
Livin' beyond my means, don't ya know a man's got to try 
C                                F 
Don't know how it started, all I know is it's got to end 
      C               G                     C 
Got a noose around my neck and I don't know why 
  
I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans 

Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin 

Don't know where you lead me all I know is I've got to go 

Gotta find you baby, before I'm too old 
 

G                F 
Livin' beyond my means 
F                         C 
With all these loving you things 
G                       F 
Don't know how I'll get by 
F            C 
Lord help me try  
 
  
Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart 
I didn't put up a fight, baby just to find me one more start 
Now it's taken me out of my home and put me out on the street 
This loving you thing has got me beat 
 
Chorus 
 
I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be 
On my way back to Texas, I took a long look down in Tennessee 
This wild turkey chase, well, it's got the best of me 
I guess it's best to quit when you're behind 
  
Chorus
