INTRO: A  B7  E


(Willie):
E                    A             E
You load the horses, I'll pack the riggin'
                                        B7
Let's tell 'em goodbye and walk out the door
E                          A           E
One drink and one kiss can lead to too many
                              B7         E
We ought to know 'cause we've been there before


(Waylon):
Eight hours of drivin' will put us in Houston
Two hours of sleep to make it or bust
Eight seconds of glory to stay in the money
And five year old whiskey to wash down the dust


CHORUS:
A                        E
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
                   F#7         B7
That's all we ever intended to be
A                        E
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
                    B7           A   B7  E
Two old sidewinders like you and me


(Willie):
Let's find us a place and a couple of ladies
Someone to lie to, someone to trust
Someone who's impressed by a couple of outlaws
Whose gold plated trophies have turned into rust


(Waylon):
Now we're damn near broke and we can't buy 'em whiskey
Do you think they might settle for a bottle of wine
Well there's two over there, right near the jukebox
Yours don't look bad hoss but just look at mine


CHORUS
