Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Slow up, child, you're gonna get burned
Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?
There ain't water in the wine
You're gonna live a long long life

[Verse 2]
I woke [Em]up one mornin' restless
on a bed of gasoline
Finally [A]dawned on me the time that
I've spent shackled in these sheets
Said life inside [C]these walls ain't
doin' nothin good for [Em]me
So I burned [D]down that old brick
house and I threw away the key
[Em]Headed west

[Verse 3]
out to Montana and
said I'm never comin' home
Closed [A]my eyes and gripped the wheel and
let my chest say where to go
But I met God [C]in Greenville county upside down,
glass on the road
He said "Boy [Dsus4]you never warmed up
[D]you got used to bein' [Em]cold"

[Verse 4]
Slow up, child, you're gonna get burned
Lay down, [G]where you goin'
in a hurry[D]?
There ain't water in the wine
[Bm]You're gonna live a long long life
[Em]Slow up, boy, shut your mouth
[G]Stop preaching 'bout shit
you don't know about
You [D]got nothin' but time
[Bm]You're gonna live a long long life
[B]Met a girl

[Verse 5]
[Em]out in the desert
and she told me I was ill
She said [A]I will make you better
and she handed me a pill
She was [C]pretty so I thought if this
won't help me nothin' will
Soon [D]enough I woke up floating
[G]high [D]above the desert hills
[Em]Then

[Verse 6]
all at once the desert
sounded evil and turned black
I [A]watched what little life was left
catch fire and turn to ash
[C]And I saw my mother standing there
with an empty can of gas
She said, [B]"What the fuck you doin', boy,
you get your ass right [Em]back"

[Verse 7]
Slow up, child, [Em]you're
gonna get [G]burned
Lay down, where you goin'
in a [D]hurry?
There ain't water in the [B]wine
You're gonna live a long long life
[Em]Slow up, boy, and shut your mouth
[G]Stop preaching 'bout shit
you don't know about
You [D]got nothin' but [B]time
You're gonna live a long long life
[Em]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Slow up, child,
you're gonna get [G]burned
Lay down, where you goin' in a hurry?
[D]There ain't water in the [B]wine
You're gonna live a long long life
[Em]Slow up, boy, and shut your mouth
[G]Stop preaching 'bout shit
you don't know [D]about
You got nothin' but [B]time
You're gonna live a long long [Em]life
