[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                              C                  G
The sawmill ain't hiring, the mines are all shut down

G                                  D
Nothing for a working man in this dying town

         G                            C               G
But the bills they needs paying, too proud to take a check

G                            D            G
Everything about my life is one big damn wreck
[Chorus]
         C                G
So I'll ride out of this hole

C
Looking for a brand new start

   G
A house and a pretty little woman to hold

            C
I'm gonna shake this shit right off these shoes

       G
I Got nothing to show but got nothing to lose

           G       D             C
I'm gonna ride on out of these blues
[Verse 2]
G                       C               G
Daddy up and left us Christmas of last year

G                           D
Mama didn't shed a single solitary tear

         G                         C                   G
But the weight of this burden was more than she could take

G                               D         G
Went to sleep one July night, never to awake
[Chorus]
         C                G
So I'll ride out of this hole

C
Looking for a brand new start

   G
A house and a pretty little woman to hold

            C
I'm gonna shake this shit right off these shoes

       G
I Got nothing to show but got nothing to lose

           G       D             C
I'm gonna ride on out of these blues
[Bridge]
Em      D                G
None of us are growing younger

Em        D            C
Time not being on our side

Em           D              G
Before the world puts us asunder

Em           D              C     G
Let's saddle up and take a ride
[Verse 3]
G                                    C                G
The past don't pave the future, My course is not yet set

G                                 D
Nothing for me here, except the promise of regret

    G                        C                   G
If mama was here with me, I know just what she'd say

G                                 D                      G
You only get one life to live so get on living down the way
[Chorus]
         C                G
So I'll ride out of this hole

C
Looking for a brand new start

   G
A house and a pretty little woman to hold

            C
I'm gonna shake this shit right off these shoes

       G
I Got nothing to show but got nothing to lose

          G       D             C
I'm gonna ride on out of these blues

          G       D             C
I'm gonna ride on out of these blues
[Outro] G C G
