[Verso 1]
 
F 
I got tired of living with depression 
     Bb                 F 
So I went for a little walk 
F 
I ran into a woman up under the bridge 
         C                   F 
Making money reading tarot cards 
     F 
She said, "I can tell when you're lying 
            Bb                      F 
But I know you've been telling the truth 
    F 
I know you ain't said a prayer in years 
           C                           F 
Since you were living in your mama's roost 
          F 
Well the Devil he works in mysterious ways 
          Bb                      F 
But he knows when you're out of fight 
             F 
You need to pick your soul up from out of the filth 
               C                        F 
And make him think that you're living right

               Bb                    F 
Boy, you gotta walk on back to the country 
     Bb                    F 
And put your hands in the dirt 
F 
Your daddy always said, "when the dream gets dead 
          C                  F 
Pick your ass up and go to work" 
 


[Verso 2]
 
      F 
She said, "I see you quit school after two hard years 
              Bb              F 
You took it easy out on the road 
       F 
But rolling your dice with them neon lights 
              C                   F 
Has got you saying, 'hey, now I know' 
          F 
That you don't need love or a higher education 
           Bb            F 
To make it big selling tapes 
       F 
Cause if you pull a big crowd and then settle on down 
         C                    F 
That's icing on the wedding cake 
               C                    F 
Sugar, that's icing on the wedding cake"

               Bb                F 
So go on and run back to the country 
     Bb                 F 
Put your hands in the dirt 
F 
Your daddy always said, "when the dream gets dead 
          C                 F 
Pick your ass up and go to work"

               Bb                   F 
Oh, you gotta walk on back to the country 
          Bb               F 
And put your hands in the dirt 
F 
Your daddy always said, "when your dream gets dead 
                C                 F 
Then pick your ass up and go to work" 
               Bb                  F 
Oh, I'm gonna run on back to the country 
        Bb                F 
And put my hands in the dirt 
F 
My daddy always said, "when the dream gets dead 
            C                 F 
To wake my ass up and go to work"
