[Verse 1]
E B7
Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin'
A A/G A/F# E
And I've done a lot of hard, hard livin'
E B7
Livin' on the road and seein' how it goes
A A/G A/F# E
I grew up fast and it shows
[Chorus]
B7 A E
Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong
B7 A E
And drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home
E
And it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough
B7 E
Oh I'm doin' the best that I can
[Solo]
E B7 A A/G A/F# E x2
[Verse 2]
E B7
Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin'
A A/G A/F# E
And I've had my share of good women
E B7
I once had a good home, a wife to call my own
A A/G A/F# E
But now I'm here drunk and alone
[Chorus]
B7 A E
Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong
B7 A E
And drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home
E
And it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough
B7 A A/G A/F# E
Oh I'm doin' the best that I can
