I was out of my mind the first time I met her.
I was feeling lonely [B] and blue.
I just moved to the country to get me some rest.
The city's gonna [E] hurt me on you.
Especially a driller from East Kentucky
without a penny on her [A] work day's name.
Wasting his [E] life on a burning [Em] desire
[B] and chasing that long-tongued [E] flame.
Tears are soft on the eyes, a dim on the skin.
Do you need any help [B] with this line?
To get you to listen in the way I am.
But [G] I hate [E] to run.
Hold on now, buddy, don't you wait up.
You're mistaken if you think [A] I'm insane.
The sins that you've been [E] chasing all over [B] town
are all [E] that long-tongued flame.
[A] I'm older, [D] but [E] love's so cruel.
To love's a matter of [B] giving up to you.
It's got to [E] slow down, quit [G] acting [A] that way.
[B] Burn your heart and let it all [E] become me.

[E] You sleep through the cuffs, too many times for a baby.
The minute I [G] learned [B] how to [Gbm] breathe.
[B] [Eb] I finally found out that love of a [B] woman
and loving her is [Ab] all that [E] I need.
You all know that I ain't good for nothing
except writing the [A] songs that I sing.
Feeling strange, [E] my barrel and her money
[B] and chasing [Abm] that [E] long-tongued flame.
But I got [A] me a whore [D] of this love [E] so true.
Calling me the past, and it says [B] to you
I'd better [E] slow down, [Ab] quit [A] acting insane.
[B] Burn my heart and let it all [E] become me.
