G

D              C       G
Where did all my friends go
D                         C         G
What happened to my scene
D                      C             G            
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
D          C         G
Up and left the king


[Verse]

                        D              C            G
And I've been swimming for redemption
              D                   C            G
But I'm drowning in bureaucracy
       D          C              G
And I can't find exemption
D                  C          G
From all the mediocrity


[Chorus]

D                                 G                    C                       G
And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
    C                        Em                     C                      D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
                D            C              G                          D            C        Em
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
D             C        G                D                          C     G     D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
D                    C                  G
I swear I'm gonna fade away


[Verse]

D            C            G
I don't mean to bitch and judge
        D     C     G
But baby I gotta go
                    D       C                   G
Where they still play Merle Haggard
                D                  C               G
And the girls love to rock and roll
                        D            C          G
And I've been looking for perspective
D                       C               G
Between the highway signs
        D               C            G  
But all roads lead to Texas
         C              C         G
Ya'll look me up some time


[Chorus]

D                                 G                    C                       G
And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
    C                        Em                     C                      D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
                D            C              G                          D            C        Em
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
D             C        G                D                          C     G     D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
D                    C                  G
I swear I'm gonna fade away
