Well it's late at night on this old turnpike
F
And my heads spinning round and around
C C/B
It's a long, long way from New York to Texas
Am D
I've been through a million towns
G
Well it's get off the bus and get on the stage
F
The band and the boys and me
C C/B
Take me to Alabama, Mississippi, Montana
Am D
They don't want me back in Tennessee
G F
Tennessee. how could you do this to me
C C/B
I gave you some of the best of my days
Am C D C
Ain't no reason for me to stay
G F
Tennessee, you took the life out of me
C C/B
What little money I made
Am C/B C D Cm G
I either drank it up or I gave it away
I've tried so long to sell my songs
But Nashville wasn't the place
All I got for my trouble was fighting mad
And the door slammed in my face

Solo
