(D)Another day on Highway 41

It's a long black snake that (A)runs to the sun

(D)My mama told me since the (G)day I was (F)born

(D)Son, down in the southland is (A)where you (D)belong

(Chorus)

So, I'm (G)pitching nickels, (D)pitching dimes

Talking trash and (A)drinkin' wine

It's (D)just another (D/C)day in the (G)life of (F)me

(D)Hard times and (A)misery(D)
    
(D)I got a mansion looks like a shotgun shack

I draw my money from a (A)cotton sack

(D)But I finally found one (G)thing that's (F)free

(D)That's been hard times and (A)misery(D)
    
(Back to Chorus)
    
(Bridge)

(D)Watermelon's are hanging on the vine(C)

(D)Thirty some odd years of (A)wasted time

(D)When I wake up, Lord, (G)that's all I (F)see

(D)It's hard times and (A)misery

(VERSE 3)
(D)But there's a train that runs through this town

Every evening when the (A)sun goes down

(D)Tomorrow night at (G)Eight-o-(F)Three

(D)No more hard times and (A)misery (D)
