[Intro]

G              Am             C               C

I grew up out West, where the rain don't fall

G              Am                      C           C

Where only the Spinifex grows and the gum stands tall

G               Am               C       C    Am D

And while these roots are buried deep in me, Oh i can't leave....

G     Am               C            C

Mamma liked to play her music loud

G     Am             C             C

Heavy drinking daddy taught me how

G        Am                 C      C    Am D

Nothing else to do on a Friday night, But waste the time....

[Chorus]

G            Am        C           C

And I know Old Hank would understand

G                 Am          C           C

And I know George Jones would be my friend

G                   Am        C           Am C

No I don't need the radio to tell me what's wrong

NC.              (G Am CC)     (G Am C C)

G         Am             C            C

Love gone wrong is just a way of life

G        Am        C                 C

Broke my heart in pieces many times

G              Am           C      C      Am  D

You think I'd find my way by number 3, But that ain't me....

G         Am                  C          C

First was young love - with the wrong man
