Hayes Carll - Wish i hadnt stayed so long

Shooting ^Cstars and whiskey bottles all ^Fscattered across the ^Cyard I'd have ^Fstayed back home in ^CHouston if I'd known it'd be this ^Ghard Ah but ^Cas it is I'm busted broke ^Fdown across the ^Cbay And I ^Fmight not make De^Ccember if we keep carrying on this ^Gway Pretty ^Cgirls and deep depressions keep ^Ffalling from the ^Csky I got ^Fall the time in ^Cheaven but no sense to wonder ^Gwhy And the ^Cnights have all gone crazy and the ^Fbars have all shut ^Cdown One ^Fday I swear I'll ^Cblow it all, pack up, and leave this ^Gtown

And some^Ftimes I get so ^Ctired of ^Ftelling right from ^Cwrong ^CHey, I'm glad I ^Gcame, just wish I ^Fhadn't stayed s^Co long

Here I ^Cam in Music City, long ^Fnights and neon ^Csigns And I ^Fcan't seem to re^Cmember what I came so far to ^Gfind Police ^Ccars and paper money motel ^Frooms and ciga^Crettes Yeah, they ^Ftell you, you ain't ^Cnothin' just in case you might for^Gget I can ^Chear the country music in the ^Fwindow up a^Cbove Do they ^Fdo it for the ^Cmoney, do they do it for the ^Glove? Bourbon ^Ceyes and stolen pistols seems ^Fall that comes my ^Cway I'm gonna ^Fburn down all my ^Cbridges, grab a car, and drive ^Gaway

And some^Ftimes I can't ^Cbelieve I did ^Fall that for a ^Csong C G F C (solo) Hey, I'm glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long

We could ^Cmake Louisiana ^Fin two hours' ^Ctime We could ^Fpull off of the ^Chighway by the big casino ^Gsign We could ^Ctake up all our wishes and ^Fbet 'em all on ^Cblack Hit the ^Flights of Missis^Csippi with the south wind at our ^Gback

And it's ^Falways been the ^Csame down ^Fevery road I've ^Cgone ^CHey, I'm glad I ^Gcame, just wish I ^Fhadn't stayed s^Co long
