[D] [Am] [N] Good evening, everyone.
This is Kinky Friedman.
You're watching Texas Roadhouse Live.
Tonight we're going to take you back to the birthplace of outlaw country music, Luchenbach,
Texas, with legendary singer, songwriter and poet Billy Joe Shaver.
Some of the greatest names in country music have recorded his songs, including Johnny
Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Elvis Presley.
So sit back, enjoy your favorite adult beverage as we take you back to the heart of Texas
with my friend, Billy Joe Shaver.
It's great to be here.
Great to be anywhere, really.
All these tunes we'll be doing are songs I've written down through the years.
I hope you like them.
And we always start off with George on a Fast Train, so I guess we might as well do that.
[A]
On a rainy Wednesday morning, [D] that's the day that I was born.
[A] [E]
[A] [Dm] [D]
[A] [E] [A]
[Dm] [D]
[A] [E] I got [A] on my country [G] learning, [D] milking and a churning, [A] kicking, fighting, [E] raising hell
and failing [A] the faith.
I've been to Georgia [D] on a fast train, honey.
[A] I wasn't born no [E] yesterday.
And a [A] good Christian raising, [D] that eighth grade education, [A] helped me [E] out, freed me
[A] of that void.
[Am] [A] [C#m]
[A] [Gm] [E]
[A] [D]
[A] [E] [A]
And now sweet Carolina, [D] I don't guess I'll ever find another [A] woman put together like [E] you are.
[A] Hey, y'all, look at me, I'm walking, and [D] your feet sitting talking.
[A] You're barely [E] shining from a [A] racktop cause.
And that's how I've [F] been waiting in [G#] this world of giving and taking.
Seems like [Am] haste is made for waste every [C] time.
I [Am] declare to my [D] soul, when you have those ages, bro, you better [A] know [Em] who I'm gonna feed
[A] my children with.
I've been to Georgia [D] on a fast train, honey.
[A] I wasn't born no [E] yesterday.
And [A] a good Christian raising, [D] that eighth grade education, [A] helped me [E] out, freed me [A] of that void.

treat me [A] that way.
