      G                     D 
If my liver hangs on and my lungs don't bust, 
    A                  Bm      A     G 
I'm going to make me a million bucks singing these songs. 
  D                   A                 Bm       A       G D A Bm A 
I bled on the page of my die track, but I'll get paid for. 
     G 
Am I chasing my dreams? 
     D                   A                           Bm      A 
Am I running away from a ghost that haunts me in the darkest days? 
G                   D                    A 
Cigarette burn in a passenger seat. He's gone too soon.

I've been so sweet

       G 
On the blacktop 
           D                 A                 Bm 
And you're going to remember every word I ever wrote. 
A         G                       D 
  And you cry big tears while I'm singing in your ears 
        A                          Bm 
And the speakers down deep in your soul. 
A            G                     D 
  So when my time comes up and you drop me in the dirt, 
     A                                            G 
Just say I would have quit if it hadn't killed me first.

Sing a highway song when you dig my grave.

Mama, don't worry. It'll be okay.

Don't blame the west.

Don't blame the women a hard life made fast living.

Till the bar room beauties
