[Verse 1]
I was out on a drEunk Esus4 E I was wild enough to shB7oot at
Too high to hit
Too low to trEy Esus4 E Try as I may Have good intB7entions
Natural-born heathens
Love backslider's wiEne Esus4 E
[Verse 2]
Brothers and sisEterEsus4s E That would be bB7ourbon
That'd be 'bout the furthest
Thing that I neEed Esus4 E All my born days I ain't never been deB7cent
At hidin' the demons
I'm haulin' in mEe Esus4 E7
[Chorus]
Too ofAten I reach For things I know keep me for beEin' all that I cAan Like a mB7an
[Interlude] E B7 E E Esus4 E [Verse 3]
There are things I recEallEsus4 E There are things that are haB7zy
There are things that just shame me
There are things I can't chEangEsus4e E Try as I might Too have good intB7entions
Natural-born heathens
Love backslidin' waEys Esus4 E7
[Chorus]
Too often I reAach For things I know keep me for beEing all that I cAan Like a mB7an
[Verse 1]
EI was out of my mind the first night we met I was feeling lonely and bB7lue
I'd just moved to the country to get me some rest
The city can put a hurtin' on Eyou Especially a fella from eastern Kentucky Without a penny or a worth to his Aname Wasting his life on a bEurnin' desire And cB7hasing that honky tonk flEame
[Verse 2]
YEou were soft on the eyes and a Hymn on the hearing Leaving me helpless of liB7nes
To get you to listen to the way I was feelin'
And the plans I had made for our nEight Hold on now buddy won't ya wait up a minute You're mistaken if you think I'm the sAame As them skirts you've been chasin' all overE town AlonB7g with that honky tonk flEame
[Chorus 1]
IA'm a woman with a lDove so tErue Truth of the matter I'd give it to B7you You just got to slow dEown, quit actin' that wAay BB7urnin' your barn in this honky tonk flaEme
[Verse 3]
EYou were sweet to the touch And a touch for the takin' The minute I learned how to breaB7the
Finally found out that the love of a woman
Who loved me was all that I'd nEeed Still on the road cause I ain't good for nothin' Except writing the songs that I sAing Beating them strings like they're oEwing me money And cB7hasing that honky tonk flEame
[Chorus 2]
But I got me a wAoman with a loDve so trEue Darlin' to me but that's missus to yB7ou All I did was slow dEown and quit actin' Ainsane B7Burnin' my barn in this honky tonk flaEme
