[Intro]
G
D C G
Where did all my friends go
D C G
What happened to my scene
D C G
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
D C G
Up and left the king
[Verse]
D C G
And I've been swimming for redemption
D C G
But I'm drowning in bureaucracy
D C G
And I can't find exemption
D C G
From all the mediocrity
[Chorus]
D G C G
And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
C Em C D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
D C G D C Em
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
D C G D C G D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
D C G
I swear I'm gonna fade away
[Verse]
D C G
I don't mean to bitch and judge
D C G
But baby I gotta go
D C G
Where they still play Merle Haggard
D C G
And the girls love to rock and roll
D C G
And I've been looking for perspective
D C G
Between the highway signs
D C G
But all roads lead to Texas
C C G
Ya'll look me up some time
[Chorus]
D G C G
And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
C Em C D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
D C G D C Em
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
D C G D C G D C G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
D C G
I swear I'm gonna fade away
