[G] [Gm]
Sunshine beating on the good times Moonlight racing from the grave
String band [G] playing more that honky [Gm] tonk's pretty young thing going dancing in the rain
[C] [Gm]
High heel [G] lady spitting at the nick of [Gm] Jack's
[C] Businessman with a needle and [Gm] a spoon
[G] Coyote chewing on a cigarette [Gm] pack of young boys going howling at the moon
Hey darlin', sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin', running through the trees, honey
Hey darlin', leaving for the next town
Lesson my sis catches up with me
Three dead in a crash on the number four
Two witnesses blown up high
Not sure whose will be done
You can call me a sinner for wondering why
Hey darlin', [G] sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin', running through the trees, honey
Hey [Gm] darlin', leaving for the next town
Lesson my sis catches [G] up with me
[C] [Gm]
Corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
Could it be it's the same as the last?
I swear I've seen your face [C] elsewhere [Gm] before
Just as familiar as a bottle and [G] a glass
Hey darlin', sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin', running through the trees, honey
Hey darlin', leaving for the [Gm] next town
Lesson my sis catches up with [G] me
Hey darlin', sleeping on the blacktop
Hey darlin', running through the trees, honey
Hey [Gm] darlin', leaving for the next town
Lesson my sis catches up with me
