IT'S GETTING SO (THAT A MAN CAN'T GO INTO TOWN JUST TO HAVE HIM A DRINK)
As recorded by Colter Wall
(From the 2025 Album MEMORIES AND EMPTIES)

[Verse 1]
D
Well, I can might get high on a Saturday night
A7
And decide to drag my hide to town
A7
I find me a cue, lose a quick game of pool
D
To whoever just might be around
D
And after I'm done, and the evening's funds
G
Have been all but knocked back and drunk down
D B7
I call my ex-wife, tell her how great my life is
E7 A7 D
And could she drive me home from town?

[Chorus]
A7 D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
E7 A7
Into town just to have him a drink
A
Get by the cops and the mule deer
D B7 E7 A7 D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think

[Instrumental Break]
D A7 D

[Verse 2]
D
Well, I could stay home, do my drinking alone
A7
I suppose it'd be better that way
A7
My bar-room companions would be understanding and
D
Probably glad for the change
D
But to tell you the truth, I'm too long in the tooth
D7 G
To start changing my old evil ways
G#dim D B7
So before your next rebuke, there's a shot I'd like to shoot
E7 A7 D
And you might too if you're planning to stay

[Chorus]
A7 D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
E7 A7
Into town just to have him a drink
