Intro: G

 G                       Cadd9 
well my little brother's raising 
              Em
hell living down in Texas
 G                       Cadd9    
he probably ought to be in jail 
           Em
from the stories that he tells us
 D                           
of whiskey nights and rodeos the 
Cadd9
strippers down in Austin
 G                     D      
he's had himself some real good 
                   Cadd9           
times if he could just recall them
    D


 G                     Cadd9  
now his money's running out and 
                      Em
there's a job in his future
 G                   Cadd9        
and it's looking like his rambling
             Em
 days are done
 D                               
so he's sizing up his choices and
Cadd9
 a job just ain't one
 Cadd9
he don't know which way to run

 G   Cadd9   Em

 G                     Cadd9   
As for you and winter, it may be 
                    Em
cold but that don't stop the rain,
Continues after the ad
 G                     Cadd9 
the holes up in your roof make 
                     Em
keeping dry a losing game
 D                           Cadd9
the stairwell's always wet , but you
 wouldn't really mind if
 G                            
the tears would dry up in your 
D       Cadd9      D
crying eyes

 G                       Cadd9    
Now your boy, he's coming home but
                     Em
 that just ain't that good for you
 G               Cadd9         
started ending long ago you know 
              Em
that much is true
 D                              
so dry your eyes and say goodbye 
  Cadd9
because he just ain't the one
 Cadd9
decide which way to run
 G                Cadd9        Em
gonna decide which way to run

 G    Cadd9    Em

 G                  Cadd9         
as for me, the same old shit keeps
               Em
 pulling me on down
 G                   Cadd9    
I never been quite able to pick 
                    Em
myself up off the ground
 D                     Cadd9
always got big plans, but they're 
always in the works
 G                    D           
and I swear they'll pay off if my 
            Cadd9           D
luck don't give out first

 G               Cadd9            
well here I am again I don't know 
        Em
if I’m right
 G                  Cadd9         
but I can tell you that I’m having
   Em
 fun
 D                          Cadd9

this race, it ain't quite done
 Cadd9

 G              Cadd9        Em
