Verse:
G
Early in the morning when the sun does rise
F                      C
Layin’ in the bed with bloodshot eyes
G
Late in the evening when the sun sinks low
F                        C
That’s about the time my rooster crows

Verse:
G
I got women up and down this creek
    F                         C
And they keep me going and my engine clean
G
Run me ragged but I don’t fret
      F                            C
Cause there ain’t been one slow me down none yet

Chorus:
G
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the high wall
F                          C
Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
F                             C
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads

Verse:
  G
I got people try to tell me Red
F                           C
Keep this livin’ and you’ll wind up dead
G
Cast your troubles on the lord of lords
F                   C
Wind up layin’ on a coolin’ board

Verse:
    G
But I got buddies up at White House Road
         F                         C
And they keep me struttin’ when my feet hang low
G
Rot gut whiskey gonna ease my pain
    F                       C
And all this runnin’s gonna keep me sane

Chorus:
G
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill

Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
F                             C
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
       F                    C
It’s a damn good feelin’ to run these roads

Verse:
G
When you lay me in the cold hard clay
          F                         C
Won’t you sing them hymns while the banjo plays
G
Tell them ladies that they ought not frown
            F                       C           G
Cause there ain’t been nothing ever held me down

Bridge:
C
Lawman, women, or a shallow grave
C
Same old blues, just a different day

Chorus:
G
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the high wall
F                          C
Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
F                             C
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      F                    C              G
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads

It’s a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
