C               D                G 
Well I almost bummed a ride from Kansas City 
         C                                  G         D  
Would?ve had me home 2 months ago, time for easter anyway 
        C          D                  G         Em 
It took 16 days to thumb back east to Nashville 
       C                                 D       C      G  
I just got outside of our town with that trucker yesterday 
      C                 D                     G  
And I guess I hoped she might still be here a-waitin? 
           C                        G             D 
And I know you and all the boys got money in your hands 
        C           D                  G       Em 
And I?m sorry and I thought that I was stayin? 
      C                              D         C    G  
But I know she?s got her reasons but she don?t understand 

   C                D               G 
So tell the cops to head on back to town 
         C               D            G 
And make all them pretty women settle down  
           C                  D                  G          G/F#   Em  
And if our shoulder drinkin?, backwards thinkin? don?t just cut it here 
      C                             D 
Buddy when you won?t meet me on St. Patricks Day next year 
        C                     G 
I?ll be 1500 miles before I?m gone 
         C                              G  
And I?ll still be wishin? I?d be stayin on 
      C                  D            G       G/F#    Em 
But I called her up just like I did a hundred times before 
        C              D       C        G 
And she told me almost doesn?t count no more
 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Even though she told me almost doesn?t count no more
