As recorded by Gavin Adcock (2025 release) [Intro] Em G C G D/F# Em [Verse 1]
           G             C
Another town, another drink

               G         D/F#      Em
Another night, no sleep, not a wink

               G              C     G D/F# Em
The cape on my neck is coming loose

             G                C
Another house I shouldn't smoke

                 G           D/F#        Em
Play some towns, turn it up, hit the road

                  G              C        G D/F# Em
At least he knows what I'm going through
[Chorus]
            C                G
But I'm too drunk to be this stoned

            D                 Em
And I'm too high to feel this low

                C
And I'm too bad off on uppers

   G                        D              Em
To have another shot of six-pack to suffer

            C                  G
And I'm too young to hurt this bad

          D                Em
So I keep soaking my white flag in Jack D

        C
Till it changes colors

       G                       D
'Cause brother, my father is a fighter

          Em     G  C  G D/F# Em
And I'm a runner
[Verse 2]
            G               C
Wish I was home, wish I was sober

           G         D/F#       Em
Wish I was holding a sweet girl closer

             G                 C
But all your wishes can't come true

G          D/F#     Em
Next stop, Baton Rouge
[Chorus]
            C                G
But I'm too drunk to be this stoned

            D                 Em
And I'm too high to feel this low

                C
And I'm too bad off on uppers

   G                        D              Em
To have another shot of six-pack to suffer

            C                  G
And I'm too young to hurt this bad

          D                Em
So I keep soaking my white flag in Jack D

        C
Till it changes colors

       G                       D
'Cause brother, my father is a fighter

          Em
And I'm a runner
[Instrumental Break] G C G D/F# Em G C G D/F# Em [Bridge]
              C            G      D/F# Em
So mama, I'll be home by December

              C                G
But it's only June, so I guess

                 D     Em
Better late than never
[Chorus]
            C                G
But I'm too drunk to be this stoned

            D                 Em
And I'm too high to feel this low

                C
And I'm too bad off on uppers

   G                        D              Em
To have another shot of six-pack to suffer

            C                  G
And I'm too young to hurt this bad

          D                Em
So I keep soaking my white flag in Jack D

        C
Till it changes colors

       G                       D
'Cause brother, my father is a fighter

          Em     C  G
And I'm a runner
[Outro]
               D
My father is a fighter

          Em     C  G  D  Em
And I'm a runner
