By Drive-by Truckers [Verse 1]
        F                         C
You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race

        F                             Bb
But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

        F                                       C
And the same God that you’re so afraid is gonna send you to hell

       F                                        Bb
Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell

           F                          C
Well, Your sister’s been blaming everybody

        F                                  Bb
I don’t blame her, man, I guess I’d do the same

              F                                C
if you was my brother, man, I‘d probably stand by you.

        F                             Bb
But you ain’t, man, so I got to go my way.
[Chorus 1]
                  Dm
And I ain’t gonna crawl upon no high horse

        Bb
Cause I got thrown off of one

           F
When I was young and I ain’t no cowboy

           Bb
So I ain’t going where I don’t belong

   Dm      
It wouldn’t do you no good to let you know that

   Bb
It damned near killed me too

                 F                                   Bb
So I ain’t gonna mourn for you, man, now that you’re gone
[Verse 2]
       F                               C
Me and you, we liked our pills and our whiskey

       F                                                 Bb
But you don’t want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark

       F                        C
Having fun used to be so damned easy

       F                         Bb
Racing trains from 2nd Street to Avalon
[Chorus 2]
       Dm
Take a trip down memory lane

          Bb
You don’t see no friendly faces

        F
All the houses have been painted and

   Bb
Nobody knows your name.

     Dm
It’s enough to make a man not want

     Bb
To be nobody’s Daddy

            F                                              Bb
When all he thinks he’s got left to hand down is guilt and shame
[Chorus 1]
                  Dm
And I ain’t gonna crawl upon no high horse

        Bb
Cause I got thrown off of one

           F
When I was young and I ain’t no cowboy

           Bb
So I ain’t going where I don’t belong

   Dm
It wouldn’t do you no good to let you know that

   Bb
It damned near killed me too

                 F                                   Bb
So I ain’t gonna mourn for you, man, now that you’re gone
[Outro]
        F                         C
You can lie to your Mama, you can lie to your race 

        F                             Bb
But you can’t lie to nobody with that cold steel in your face

        F                                       C
And the same God that you’re so afraid is gonna send you to hell

       F                                        Bb
Is the same one you’re gonna answer to when the pin hits the shell
