As recorded by Colter Wall (From the 2025 Album MEMORIES AND EMPTIES) [Verse 1]
      D
Well, I can might get high on a Saturday night

                              A7
And decide to drag my hide to town

A7
I find me a cue, lose a quick game of pool

                          D
To whoever just might be around

D
And after I'm done, and the evening's funds

                                         G
Have been all but knocked back and drunk down

                            D            B7
I call my ex-wife, tell her how great my life is

    E7              A7           D
And could she drive me home from town?
[Chorus]
    A7                     D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go

     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink

           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer

     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think
[Instrumental Break] D A7 D [Verse 2]
D
Well, I could stay home, do my drinking alone

                              A7
I suppose it'd be better that way

A7
My bar-room companions would be understanding and

                      D
Probably glad for the change

D
But to tell you the truth, I'm too long in the tooth

                     D7       G
To start changing my old evil ways

                      G#dim           D                B7
So before your next rebuke, there's a shot I'd like to shoot

              E7            A7          D
And you might too if you're planning to stay
[Chorus]
    A7                     D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go

     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink

           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer

     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think
[Instrumentall Break] D A7 D G D B7 E7 A7 D [Out-Chorus]
      A7                     D
Well, it's gettin' so that a man can't go

     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink

           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer

     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think

B7      E7         A7            D
Keep on telling me just what you think
