[Verse]
D
Another day on Highway 41
A
It's a long black snake that runs to the sun
D G F
My mama told me since the day I was born
D A D
Son, down in the southland is where you belong
[Chorus]
G D
So, I'm pitching nickels, pitching dimes
A
Talking trash and drinkin' wine
D D/C G F
It's just another day in the life of me
D A D
Hard times and misery
D
I got a mansion looks like a shotgun shack
A
I draw my money from a cotton sack
D G F
But I finally found one thing that's free
D A D
That's been hard times and misery
[Bridge]
D C
Watermelon's are hanging on the vine
D A
Thirty some odd years of wasted time
D G F
When I wake up, Lord, that's all I see
D A
It's hard times and misery
[Verse 3]
D
But there's a train that runs through this town
A
Every evening when the sun goes down
D G F
Tomorrow night at Eight-o- Three
D A D
No more hard times and misery
