Ragged Old Truck

G
Early this mornin' without any warnin'
  C                   G
I took a look at myself,
 G                        G
I seen how this married up life I been livin'
    A7                     D
Was tryin' to choke me to death
  G
I laid on my bed I put a gun to my head
      C                     G
And I just about ended it all
      C                     G          Em
But I come to my senses just before I got killed
      C              D            G
And I blowed me some holes in the wall

[Chorus]
    G
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    C                   G
And haulin' my ass into town
   G                                Em
I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
          A7                       D
That I'd have die just to live it all down
G                                   C
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
                    G
I can't have some fun
      C                    G                  Em
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
         C              D          G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,

[Verse]
  G
I'm a honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
       C                     G
With a honky tonk girl on my arm
    G                    G
I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
         A7                       D
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm,
G                                   C
It's my life and there ain't no wife gonna tell me
                    G
I can't have some fun
      C                    G                  Em
So before that old heffer gets back in from Waco
         C              D          G
You can bet your sweet ass I'll be gone,

[Outro]
         C                          G          Em
Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    C         D         G
And haulin' myself into town
