A                                         D 
I was almost 5 and four foot high when my mama packed me up 
E                                                                 A      E 
Me and brother left that two room shack on the north side of Fort Worth 
        A                                                          D 
Now, my old man he'd been drinkin hard, he tried to hang on to the car 
E                                                            D        
Mama just lit her up a cigarette and drug is ass through the yard 


[Refrão]
      A                       D 
Adios baby here is where the leavin turns to gone 
        E  
This is all she wrote and I'm all out of notes 
                          A 
To your sad Hank Williams song 
       A                                            D 
Now my mama raised me that it's better to be pissed off  
 
Than to be pissed on 
      E                                      E 
Adios baby, here's where the leavin turns to gone 
  
 
Yea, well I married me this Dallas girl up where love don't come free 
It didn't take too long to figure out she loved Wal-Mart more than me 
Spent too much time worryin' about some thing I could not change 
Then a goodbye note to a favorite fur coat and I stepped inside the rain 
  
Chorus
