Younger By The Rye

         Am
Well I’m coming back to Fort Worth, 
Shiner in my blood
          C
And I’m ridin through the midnight 
hour in a Jacksboro flood
       Am
And I won’t stop for Gamblin’ hell 
I’ve lost too many Farms
        C
And my women done and fell from me 
in a richer man’s arms
    Am            C
My God
    Am            C
My God

        Am
Well someone stole my candles and 
burned them at both ends
          C
I can't afford to pay attention 
drank away my drinkin’ friends
          Am
And I’m hunting down the coyote that
 howls outside this dive
       C
And I shot out the moon last night 
with my last 45
Continues after the ad
    Am            C
My God
    Am            C
My God

        Am
Well my mamma was a pistol I’m a son
 of a gun
     C
My daddy was a yankee and he lived 
on the run
       Am
I was born in a cane field I was 
raised to blame
        C
Hell I thought I told you boys I’m 
goin’ insane
    Am            C
My God
    Am            C
My God
      Am
So I keep on getting old and younger
 by the rye
         C
I can’t take it easy anymore, not a 
еasy going guy
              Am
And when my livings all over with no
 fate lеft to save
         C
Take bluebonnets, pain, and anger 
and place them on my grave
    Am            C
My God
    Am            C
My God
           Am
Well I’m coming back to Fort Worth 
Shiner in my blood
          C
And I’m ridin through the midnight 
hour in a Jacksboro flood
       Am
And I won’t stop for Gamblin hell 
I’ve lost to many Farms
         C
And my women done and fell from me 
in a richer man’s arms
