E  
I said highway 87 is a dangerous place to be 
                                                                   E7 
When you pissed off all the local boys and your back's against the sea 
    A 
The cops all know your number, bars all know your name 
       E  
After six straight months of drinkin' boy, you're never gonna be the same 
    B7   
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't remember when 
      A                                                   E 
I may not know where I'm goin' but I sure know where I've been 
 
  
Aww the sheriff he just watches every move I make 
And one of those days he's gonna arrest me for all the time I take 
The local girls all act like I just ain't their kind 
Paintin' on their precious nails and losin' their sweet minds 
And I'd give half of Texas if I could find a friend 
I may not know where I'm goin' but I sure know where I've been 
  
Ahh the coast is disappearing as they line up on the beach 
Doin' all them little things that Sunday school don't teach 
Jim Beam by the fire, cocaine in the stash 
Baseball bat on the floorboard, shotgun on the dash 
And you might lose your mind go walkin' round the bend 
You may not know where you're goin' but you'll sure know where you been
