Verse 1
C
Well I was scumbag bound for a couple a days
G
Talked to a friend of mine
C
He said I've got to do the thing I do do best before I lose my mind
I said man I ain't no guru

Verse 2
C
Well a man he came along and told us it was wrong
G
To think like the way we are
We all found it funny when he told us 'bout the money

Yeah well I said to him you can't understand

Verse 3
C
Well her daddy got a fright at the letter she left
G
It cut her momma to the bone
So they loaded themselves up on an express train
C
To bring the little girl back home
They finally ran into ground at a bar downtown
G
It was much worse than they feared
For she was up on the stand with a four piece band
C
And this is what they hear
