[Verse]
Am F C G
I told my dad I didn't love him anymore
Am F C G
I grabbed all the cash and I ran and slammed the door
Am F C G
And I spent it like, I spent it like a movie star
Am F C G
I spent it right, I spent it right in all the bars
Am F C G
I was so hungry, so thirsty, the ladies, they adored me
Am F C G
And the men all wished to be me, they burned in all their jealousy
[Instrumental]
Am F C G
[Chorus]
Am F C G
I had all the things that a man like me should buy
Am F C G
I lived like a king in America with apple pie
Am F C G
But my heart was small, my heart was smaller than before
Am F C G
My fence was tall, to keep out the people that were wanting more
[Instrumental]
Am F C G
[Verse]
Am F C G
I knew a girl, Katie was her name
Am F C G
She was quite the whirlwind and she wanted to stake my claim
Am F C G
She said oh baby, oh maybe, you and me could get married
Am F C G
And we’ll settle down and bury all the warrants in our histories
Am F C G
But all the party lights went out and I was all alone
Am F C G
The amount of money that I had was the amount of love I was shown
Am F C G
And I had nothing x2
[Chorus]
Am F C G
So, I gathered up all of my pride
Am F C G
I hitch hiked to a town where my dignity had died
Am F C G
He was waiting x2
Am F C G
He ran and kissed me
