[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Me and my buddy got us a wild hair
And [F]figured we wanted to go somewhere
So we [G]loaded up in my ragtop Chev[C]rolet
We had a little bit of money
and a whole lot of show
And with [F]Hank Junior blaring on the radio
We got a [G]tank full of gas
and we was on our [C]way
We figured we'd go down to New Orleans
We were [F]barrelling' down old 17
When a [G]man
with a blinking red light was on our [C]tail
He said, "You were doin' 60 in a 45
But [F]I'm gonna let you go this time
But if I [G]catch you again,
I'm gonna slap you in the county [C]jail"

[Verse 2]
We said, [C]"Thank you sir, you sure been nice
And [F]you ain't gonna have to tell us twice"
And we were [G]Southbound
and down with the wind blowing in our [C]faces
We kept on rolling and pretty soon
The [F]radio was cooking out a haggard tune
And we were [G]pulling into Houston
and checking out all the [C]places
I was feeling dry and I said, "I think
We ought to [F]stop and get ourselves a drink"
Old Jim [G]said, "Yeah 'cause we got time to [C]kill"
We kept on rolling and I seen this spot
We [F]pulled into the parking lot
Of this place [G]called,
'The Cloud Nine Bar and [C]Grill'

[Verse 3]
We [C]walked through the door
and the place was jammed
The [F]lights were low,
they had a punk rock band
And some [G]orange haired feller
singing about [C]suicide
I said, "Jim, this ain't our kind of place
He said, [F]"Well,
let's just have one round anyway"
So [G]against my better judgment
we walked on [C]inside
Went up to the bar and we sat down
This [F]feller walked up
and said, "I'll buy this round"
And he [G]sat down
on the barstool next to [C]Jim
He looked like a girl but he talked like a guy
He had [F]lipstick on and mascara in his eyes
And [G]everybody in that place
looked just about like [C]him

[Verse 4]
I said, [C]"Jim, this ain't our kind of bar
Let's just [F]go on out and get back in the car
'Cause [G]there's gonna be trouble,
ain't no sense in taking a [C]chance"
We was getting up, getting ready to leave
When some[F]body
grabbed old Jim by the sleeve
And this [G]good looking girl,
she was asking my buddy to [C]dance
I said, "Jim, don't do it,
there's something missing
There's [F]fellers dancing and fellers kissing
There's a [G]feller in high heeled shoes
wearing panty [C]hose"
He said, "Partner, I just can't turn this down
You just [F]go over there
and have one more round
I'll [G]dance with the lady
and we'll get on down the [C]road"

[Verse 5]
So he [C]walked away and left me alone
But this [F]funny looking feller kept coming on
And he was [G]making me mad
with some of the things he [C]said
Then he put his hand on my knee
I said, [F]"If you don't get your paw off me
I'm gonna [G]locate your nose
around the other side of your [C]head"
He said, "I love it
when you get that fire in your [F]eye
I said, "Well, partner try this on for [G]size"
And I unloaded on him
and he went out like a [C]light
Everybody in that place
must have been his friend
They all [F]headed for me, I said, "This is the end"
But [G]where I come from,
we don't give up without a [C]fight

[Verse 6]
They were [C]screaming and yelling
and scratching and clawing
I was [F]punching
and hitting and kicking and pawing
I was [G]holding my own,
'cause I've been in a scrap or [C]two
Old Jim come running up out of the blue
And that [F]gal he was with,
come running up too
And [G]proceeded to beat on me
with a high heel [C]shoe
I grabbed her by the hair
it came off in my hand
And that [F]beautiful girl was just a beautiful man
And [G]old Jim
just got sick right there on the [C]floor
He dropped that dude like a shot from a gun
[F]Smeared his lipstick, made his makeup run
And [G]me and old Jim
started fighting our way to the [C]door[A]

[Verse 7]
Man, we lit [D]out of there in that Chevrolet
I [G]put in on the floor
and it stayed that way
We was [A]going' down the highway
doing about a hundred and [D]ten
We were headed for home
and we was getting nearer
Then a [G]red light came on the rear view mirror
And that [A]same blame cop
was pulling us over [D]again[B]

[Verse 8]
Now I'm [E]sitting' here in this county jail
I had to [A]call my Daddy to go our bail
But I [B]learned me a lesson
that I never will forget [E]again
I've done give up drinking',
I've give up bars
And [A]running
around the country in souped up cars
I'm going [B]back where the women
are women and the men are [E]men
[G#m][A][Bbdim]
