Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Well, [G]I was cru[C]ising down
the road about 75
When this Pol[F]ish man
put [F#dim]right up next to me[C]
He said, boy, you know you're lucky
that you're still alive
Because what you're [D]doing is plain to see
[G]An [Am]d all[G] your [Bb]breath[C] still stinks
and I can tell you've been drinking
He [F]took me down to jail,
that's what [F#dim]started me thinking
Gon[D]na [C]put a bar [Am]in the back of my car
And [F]drive my[G]self to drink
[C]Wel[G]l, you[D] know eve[C]r since I
was about ten years old
I've been [F]drinking everything I could [C]hold
But the only time
I couldn't get enough of getting cold
[D]I was cruising on down the r[Dm]oad
[G]Now [Gm]my m[Bb]other[C]
's been humming,
baby, I've been thinking
This [F]one more liquor's like
my [F#dim]hot rod licking
Gonna [C]put a bar [Am]in the back of my car
And [Dm]drive [G]myself to drink
[C]You don[F]'t ever wanna know
when I'm running around
Try[Am]in' to [C]put their feet
flat down on the ground
[D]If you'll only put a little ice in my cup
[G]I'm gonna [Am]move it [G]up
[Bb]straight on [G]up
Yeah, my [C]mama and my papa
said you better watch your step
And make [F]sure you don't
[F#dim]drink when you dri[C]ve
But unless I can slide
a couple shooters down my lips
I [D]really don't feel like I'm [Dm]alive
[G]Yeah, [Bb]my mind ge[C]ts hazy,
my heart starts sinkin'
Un[F]less I'm allowed to do my
[F#dim]fair shar[D]e of drinkin'
Gotta [C]put a bar [Am]in the back of my car
I'll [Dm]drive my[G]self [C]to [F]drink[C]
[D][G][Am][G][C]
[F]
[F#dim][C][Am]
[F][G][C][F][Am]
[C][D]
[G][Am]
[G]When I [C]told you all about it,
I'll tell you one more thing
But I'm [F]only gonna say
[F#dim]it this one time
[C]You know what's right for me
might not be right for you
You [D]really got to make up your own mind
[Gm]Now [C]as for me, I gotta get twisted,
I wanna stay straight
I [F]need some alcohol to motiv
[F#dim]ate and rivul[D]ate
I'm gonna [C]put a bar [Am]in
the back of my car
And drive [F]my [G]self to jail
[C]Yeah, I'm gonna put a little bar
[Am]in the back of my car
Drive [F]myself [G]to [C]drink, that's right
[G]I'm [Gm]gonna [C]put a little bar
[Am]in the back of my car
[F]Drive myself [G]to drink

[Outro 1]
