Track 2 of 11 on the album "I Wrote A Song About It" (1975) [Intro] A E7 A [Verse 1]
          A     D               A        D
How could anyone who said they'd help me

        A              E7
Want to hurt me the way you did?

       A        D     A     D
It was just like Superwoman

        B7            E7
Slapping some poor crying kid

          A       D        A     D
It's just one slip and a stumble

       A                E7
Lord, it's sure not very far

        D              A       D
From a big three-story mansion

     A   E7              A
To a nine-by-twelve foot bar
[Chorus]
        E7    D     A          D
From a mansion to a honky-tonk

      A                    E7
Lord, it's closer than I thought

        D           A          D
From a mansion to a honky-tonk

       A          E7              A
Thanks for trying, hey, thanks a lot
[Verse 2]
          A      D                A        D
I hate to say it, hmm, but I don't miss it

         A               E7
Castle's cold and money's chill

          A  D           A       D
Our love died of pure starvation

        B7                 E7
It's not something that you kill

       A     D     A              D
I just wonder does the world know

         A                  E7
What a short trip it really is

        D           A       D
From a bedroom to a barroom

       A     E7      A
And an honest way to live
[Chorus]
        E7    D     A          D
From a mansion to a honky-tonk

      A                    E7
Lord, it's closer than I thought

        D           A          D
From a mansion to a honky-tonk

       A          E7              A
Thanks for trying, hey, thanks a lot
