Born With An Endless Thirst

G7**** C


[Verse 1]
C                             
Old Jimmy he liked whiskey, for 
  F                C
whippin' the old TB,
Hank Williams lived by the bottle, 
      D7            G7
right to the end by gee!
  C                              F
I too might die from alcohol but I
              C
 won't be the first,
                               F   
Country Music singers are just born
         G7      C
 with an endless thirst.


[Verse 2]
Oh, There's one more name I'll 
             F          C
mention, his name is Mr Hall,
He loves his beer and bourbon, oh 
    D7                 G7
I'd say he's tried 'em all.
And some I'm afraid have gone onto 
    F                  C
the other stuff that's worse.
I'll do no harm if I bend my arm to 
F       G7      C
ease my endless thirst


[Chorus]
   F                             
So many of our brothers, in early 
          C
life did lose.
      F                            
We're either way up in the clouds 
  C                G7
or down deep in the blues.
       C                         
It's a way life we're born to, so 
     F             C
for better or for worse.
                               F   
Country music singers are just born
         G7      C
 with an endless thirst. Hey.

[Verse 3]

When I left my home away up north 
F               C
many long years ago,
Our songs were played at 4 am on 
D7      G7
country radio.
Oh, they called us hicks and 
                F             
hillbillies and sometimes even 
 C
worse.
T'was enough to drive a man to 
       F        G7      C
drink, excuse my endless thirst.


[Verse 4]
So from cowboy songs to country 
            F                C
songs, it's been a long hard grind,
We were looked upon with such 
        D7                   G7
disdain back in the good old times.
And there's old G.P and few like me,
          F            C
 wouldn't give tinkers curse.
Oh, we've done it all our way 
        F              G7    
anyway, lived with our endless 
  C
thirst, hey.


[Chorus]
         F                       
Yeah, so many of our brothers, in 
                C
early life did lose,
      F                            
We're either way up in the clouds 
  C                G7
or down deep in the blues.
             C                     
Yeah, it's a way life we're born 
         F             C
to, so for better or for worse,
                               F   
Country music singers are just born
         G7      C
 with an endless thirst.


[Verse 5]
Those smart bandwagon hoppers 
         F                   C
wouldn't spit on the country scene.
And we were in the doldrums, now 
        D7              G7
they're bursting at the seams.
         C                         
Oh, they prance around like 
     F              C
peacocks in city clubs and halls.
But fancy boots and hats don't make 
  F         G7    C
a fine star after all.


[Verse 6]
So, I'll just stick to my old bush 
           F           C
songs, the ones that I enjoy.
Oh, you'll understand my stories, 
        D7              G7
I'm not makin' too much noise.
And if I should die from alcohol 
      F              C
well, I won't be the first.
'Cause country music singers are 
     F            G7      C
just born with an endless thirst. 
Hey.


[Chorus]
         F                       
Yeah, so many of our brothers, in 
                C
early life did lose,
      F                            
We're either way up in the clouds 
  C                G7
or down deep in the blues.
       C                         
It's a way life we're born to, so 
     F             C
for better or for worse
                               F   
Country music singers are just born
         G7      C
 with an endless thirst.
