G F C
[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
G F C G F C
[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
