Victim of Life's Circumstances
By Vince Gill


     G     C           G
It's 6:05 AM on Sunday morning 
G                          C                 G
I was supposed to left for Memphis late last night
G                C                    G
But I stopped at one of those highway places 
G               C                   D           G
Cause I did I'm sleepin' in Tarrant County jail tonight

Well I started tonight with good intentions 
But I ended up getting  sideways drink'n wine 
Well the last thing I remembered we was rollin'
Till something hit my head and  knocked me From  my conscious mind

Chorus:

          D                      G
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
           A7                                       D
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances 
C                        G
Singing them old country songs 
    G             C               D                G
And half the time endin' up some place I don't belong


I said jailer, hey what you'll got me charged with
He looked at me and halfway closed one eye 
Well he said to me, you say you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that long handle knife 

Chorus
