G5           D5                C5   G5
My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck
C5                                        G5
   Your dumber than dogshit is what my Daddy said
C5                         G5             C5
I was just thirteen when they showed me the door
G5            D5                 C5         G5
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more
G5            D5                 C5         G5
My first wife told me, you need to get a life
C5                                G5
My third wife told me to get another wife
C5                             G5                C5
I brought a bottle and the van's parked right outside the door
G5            D5                 C5         G5
So come on darling, if you want to be number 4


C5                 G5
Sometimes I feel like shit
C5                      D5
Sometimes it ain't half of it
C5                     G5               C5
Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep
G5             D5              C5     G5
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep


G5           D5                C5   G5
Ain't held down no job since 1984
C5                          G5
I get by holding up convenience stores
C5           G5             C5
I get by on liquor, guns and luck
G5            D5                 C5         G5
But I'm scared to death which one might run out first
G5            D5             C5     G5
I seen my past in everything that I despise
C5                                    G5
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes
C5               G5           C5
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears
C5      D5             G5         C5
Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears
