[Verse]
F Am
I've been called every bad name, some I can't name
Bb G C
By judges and lawyers and folks I've never met
F Bb F
But my mother she called me Walker Jermaine
Bb C F Dm Bb Dm Bb C
She said, "Go out, boy, and make your own way"
[Verse]
F Am
So I tried making boxes out in Nashua
Bb G C
Yeah, I tried laying traps up in Bar Harbour bay
F Bb F
But none of it helped me and I got away
Bb C F Dm Bb C Dm C
Yeah, I got away good, just as gone as I could
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
Bb C
Restless I ride in the linen
Bb C Dm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
Bb C Dm Bb Dm Bb C
I count my days, leaving only a few
[Verse]
F Am
Oh, I know it's not right to take what's not mine
Bb G C
Yeah, I'm sure ain't right, I know stealing's a crime
F Bb F
But I know what it's like to see a life going down
Bb C F Dm Bb C Dm C
Like gravel in a grave, one grain at a time
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
Bb C
Restless I ride in the linen
Bb C Dm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
Bb C
I count my days, leaving only a few
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F Am
Well, I've been here so long, I got stones for old friends
Bb G C
And I tell 'am my secrets and that's where it ends
F Bb F
And the woman who named me, well, she's in the ground
Bb C F Dm Bb C Dm C
But her Walker Jermaine just cannot be found
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Oh, every shuteye ain't sleep, I know it's so
Bb C
Restless I ride in the linen
Bb C Dm
Every goodbye ain't gone, I hope it's true
Bb C
I count my days, leaving only a few
[Outro]
Bb C F Bb C
Every shuteye ain't sleep
Bb C Dm Bb C
Every goodbye ain't gone...
Bb C F Bb C
Every shuteye ain't sleep
Bb C Dm Bb C
Every goodbye ain't gone...
Bb C F Bb C
Every shuteye ain't sleep
Bb C Dm Bb C
Every goodbye ain't gone...
Bb C F Bb C
Every shuteye ain't sleep
Bb C Dm Bb C
Every goodbye ain't gone...
Bb C F Bb C
Every shuteye ain't sleep
Bb C Dm Bb C
Every goodbye ain't gone...
