[Verse 1]
D G My friend Jimmy works on the Union Pacific line. D A G Passed me a line about 9 AM and since then I been feeling fine. D G Passed a fifth of Old Kentucky in his garage all day D A G using tattoos like old photo albums, we reminisced the olden days. Bm A G Jimmy put a cigarette where his front tooth used to be Bm A G jumped in his truck and pulled six beers from underneath his seat. A G A G He said "I gotta go to work or the wife's gonna holler at me" D G A so I hopped in grabbed a beer and drank my way to the beer hall down the street.
D G [x2]
[Chorus]
D A G Hey friend, when you gonna take me home? D A G 'Cause I'm too drunk for driving but I think it's time to go. Bm D A G Scotch and cocaine, whiskey, beer and gin. D A G [X] Heaven help me if I see the letters DUI again.
D G [x2]
[Verse 2]
D G When Jimmy dropped me off it was 3 in the PM. D A G The Mississippi sun made the barroom look mighty dim. D G Me and three old timers all hunkered at the bar. D A G Bought four shots of bourbon with money that I squandered from a penny jar. Bm A G Whiskey kept a flowing as the sun went down Bm A G warming my insides 8 ounces syrupy, sweet and brown. Bm A G Checking the door for the law or my wife. A G * They know where to find me. I guess they ain't looking for me tonight. G * I guess they ain't looking for me tonight. A * A I guess they ain't looking for me tonight.
[Chorus]
D A G Hey friend, when you gonna take me home? D A G 'Cause I'm too drunk for driving but I think it's time to go. Bm D A G Scotch and cocaine, whiskey, beer and gin. D A G [X] Heaven help me if I see the letters DUI again.

[Verse 3]
D G So now it's 3 AM and the cocaine's all but gone. D A G If I can buy a bottle from the bar then I can make it through till dawn. Bm A G Double vision, double trouble if I get behind the wheel Bm A G 'Cause my guts are rotten from too many prison meals. Bm * A * G * * * My guts are rotten from too many prison meals.
[Chorus]
D A G Hey friend, when you gonna take me home? D A G 'Cause I'm too drunk for driving but I think it's time to go. Bm D A G Scotch and cocaine, whiskey, beer and gin.
