[Intro] A [Verse]
      A
Well, this is a song about a travellin' man who knows just what he wants

   A
He thinks he's got it all figured out and tries not to take too much

     A
He's spent a lot of time tryin' this and that and he knows just what he likes and he ain't goin' back
A D A E A x2
            A
Well, I got spiders in my bed and I got slugs up on the wall

          D                           A               E
There's a black bee a-flyin' round outside of my back door

    A                                     D
I'm weather worn, my shirt is torn, I got dirt comin' out my ears

     A          E         A
From being gone all these years
A D A E A x2
      A
Well, one half of my head keeps singing songs of years of old

          D                            A            E
While the other sheds its skin on aggregates of minerals

      A                                     D
I'm a cask of oak, I'm whiskey soaked, been runnin' down the line

    A                   E                A
Aw, pour me another one honey, I'm doin' fine
[Chorus]
D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

D          A            E        A           D     A      E
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey, no ice

D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

  D       A       E          A            D       E             A
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night
A D A E A x2 [Verse]
            A
Well, I got sand in my shoes and I got dirt between my toes

        D                               A            E
There's calm before the storm I hear or so the story goes

            A
I'm dancing in it now, got a sweaty brow, I can feel it coursing through my

D
veins

    A                 E                      A
Aw, look out baby I'm comin' through when it rains
[Chorus]
D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

D          A            E        A           D     A      E
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey, no ice

D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

  D       A       E          A            D       E             A
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night
A D A E A x2 [Bridge]
    Bm      E      A      E   D
And I've been gone for so very long

      Bm        E            A         E   D
Baby, don't think twice, you know I'll be alright

         A       E       D
I got an absence without leave

       A          E     D
Got an ace tucked up my sleeve

     A          E            D        A
With sticks and stones we'll take the throne

    A         E    A
And make some history
[Chorus]
D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

D          A            E        A           D     A      E
Kicking up dirt while I'm on the run, double whiskey, no ice

D       A          E   A          D         A        E
I don't know where I belong but I know just what I like

  D       A       E          A            D       E             A
A pretty lady and sing along songs, it'll take me through the night
