A		    G		    D	        A
Well I'm not one to whine or cry, or wallow in self-pity

Doin what I love, and thankful that I am

         F#m			    D
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been 

chasin,
	A	     E		      F#m

A		   G		   D		A     
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon
A 	      G		        D             A
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in
A	     G		 D	         A
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
A		     G	     D	      A
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again

And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
C			E
For his patience and grace
