        Well I grew up lean and hungry

        I worked hard for my money
              A                 B7             E
        Said I’m gonna live my life the way I please

        I spent some time on the road of life

        Saw an angel once and the devil twice
            A               B7                  E
        I came across some things that I don't need


[CHORUS]

         E      A            E      A             E
        Like a cold hearted woman, whiskey in my water
         C#m          B7                 E
        And only one way out of a motel room
          A              E         A            E
        Payments on the Cadillac, and too many questions
         C#m                  B7                 E
        And old guitars that just won't stay in tune

        You know there's good and bad breaks
        E
        You learn from your mistakes
         A                   B7                   E
        It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts
        E
        A hillbilly boy is hard to convince

        Wild and stubborn and not much sense
         A                      B7                E
        But I’ve got enough to know what I don't want
