Verse 2: 
A                  G               D            A      
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon 
A             G                 D             A 
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in 
A            G           D               A 
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway 
A                    G       D        A 
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again

For his patience and grace
