[Verse 1]
G
Early in the morning when the sun does rise
F                      C               G
Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes
 
Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low
     F                    C              G
Well that's about time my rooster crows
 
I got women up and down this creek
         F                    C             G
And they keep me going and my engine clean
 
Run me ragged but I don't fret
             F                      C             G
'Cause there ain't been one slow me down none yet
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall
F                         C
Throw'em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads

[Verse 2]
G
I got people try to tell me, Red
F                           C             G
Keep this livin' and you'll wind up dead
 
Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lord's
   F                   C              G
Or wind up laying on a coolin' board
 
But I got buddies up White House Road
         F                         C              G
And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low
 
Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
    F                        C
And all this running's gonna keep me sane
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall
F                         C
Throw'em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C                G
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
       F                    C
It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

[Verse 3]
G
When you lay me in the cold hard clay
         F                         C            G
Won't ya sing them hymns while the banjo plays
 
You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown
             F                       C             G
'Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down
C
Lawmen, women or a shallow grave
 
Same ol' blues just a different day
 
 
[Chorus]
G
Get me drinking' that moonshine
F                      C
Get me higher than the grocery bill
G
Take my troubles to the highwall
F                         C
Throw'em in the river and get your fill
G
We been sniffing that cocaine
F                             C
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
G
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
      F                    C                G
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
       F                    C                G
It's a damn good feeling to run these roads
       F                    C                G
It's a damn good feeling to run these roads
