Holding The Bag
By Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley


Chorus:
    C                           F
You always leave me holdin’ the bag
G                                   C
Don’t you know it’s getting’ pretty heavy to drag
    C                       F  
You think it’s funny but it ain’t no gag
G                                        C
How come you always leave me holdin’ the bag


  C                         F
Remember out in Austin that time that we got tight
    G                        C
You told that old boy that I wanted to fight
     C                                 F
Now, Moe you know I really thought, uh, that you could win
      D                          G
And I didn’t se no sense in me a-steppin’ in
    F                             C 
You almost got me killed when you started to brag
    G                                               C
And that’s when you ran off and left me holdin’ the bag


Chorus


Remember back in Nashville when wee picked up them two
That old ugly one for me and the pretty one for you
Well, Joe, I bought the gas and it was my car
And I got stuck for all the beer at the bar
Yeah you were up front playin’ lover’s tag
While I was in the back seat just-a holdin’ the bag


Chorus



Change key to C# (C#, F#, G#)

Remember when I needed your alibi
My wife called you up and you didn’t lie
Now that’s not as bad as when you had me to drive
And I ended up with that DWI
Now after all we’ve done, it’s a wonder we’re friends
But ole pal you know we’ll do it again


Change key to D (D, G A)
