[Verse 1]
G
Early this mornin' without any warnin'
C G
I took me a look at myself, good God
C G
I seen how this married up life I been livin'
A7 D
Was tryin' to choke me to death
G
I laid on the bed with my gun to my head
C G
And I nearly 'bout ended it all
C G E
But I come to myself just before I got killed
A7 D G
And I blowed me some holes in the wall

[Chorus]
G
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
C G
And haulin' myself into town
C G E
I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
A7 D
That I'll die 'fore I live it all down
G
I lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face
C G
And I may as well be underground
C G E
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
A7 D G
And haulin' myself into town

[Instrumental]
G C G C G E A7 D
G C G C G E A7 D

[Verse 2]
G
A honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
C G
With a honky tonk girl on my arm
C G E
I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
A7 D
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm, that's right
G
It's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell me
C G
I can't go and have me some fun
C G E
So before that old heffer drives back in from Waco
A7 D G
You can bet your rear end I'll be gone, long gone

[Chorus]
G
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
C G
And haulin' myself into town
