[Intro 1]

[Em][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' [G]fifty
miles from New Orleans
And [Em]I could not find my baby
My wallet or blue jeans
[C]And all I got's what I believe
[D]An d a shoe for kickin' rocks
out by [G]the road
Well, I've seen you twice before
But I will not see you again
I know [Em]it's you that left me stranded
out in nowhere Lousian'
From [C]the swamp out by the highway
To [D]the other side of Houston, [G]here I go

[Verse 2]
[G]Oh, [C]babe, why can't you [G]see?
[D]You're the only thing as
heartless [Em]as me
That [D]I ever m[C]et
Ever since [G]you left the only place
I'd never [D]leave[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Well, another thing I'll never do
Is love you like I did
I left [Em]the lights on for ya, mama
You told me I was a kid
How the [C]hell'd you have the heart
[D]To never let me know I was [G]alone?
Drove all the way to Texas with
us dancin' in my head
[Em]Just preachin' to the window
all the things I never said
Got two [C]more waitin' on me
You [D]ain't nothin' like I
ever seen [G]back home

[Verse 4]
[C]Oh, babe, why can't [G]you see?
[D]You're the only thing as
heartless [Em]as me
That I ever [C]met
Ever since [G]you left the only place I'd never [D]leave[C][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]I'm out here on the edge of town
There ain't no lookin' back
'Bout eighty [Em]pages to the wind and
blowin' white smoke from the stacks
You [C]can find me on the front porch
Of [D]the A-frame out out
in Big Hill gettin' [G]high

[Verse 6]
[C]Oh, babe, why can't you [G]see?
[D]You're the only thing as
heartless [Em]as me
That [D]I ever m[C]et
Ever since [G]you left the only
place I'd never [D]leave

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, [C]babe, why can't you [G]see?
[D]You're the only thing as
heartless [Em]as me
That [D]I ever m[C]et
Ever since [G]you left the only place I'd never [D]leave[C]
