[G] [Am] My mama told me life was a struggle and one day I'd be in trouble
[F] If I wasn't careful I'd be in prison or worse
Since [G] I'm a son of an alcoholic, whatever you wanna call it
Then I better stick to the books [Am] and trust in the [Cm] church
But [C] I'm addicted to rock and roll and my ticket is fucking [F] golden
And I ain't a 9-5-er, I'm hitting the road
Pumping [G] away in the mountains, drinking the curb
Found playing [B] to people that love me, that is [C] my get up and go
Or [Am] maybe I was just a rebel kid
Having nothing, getting pissed off, breaking shit
Always dreaming [C] about the road where I belong
Always dreaming about the road I travel on
Still living [Am] that life in the fast lane
Still running full speed in the mundane
Will I ever [F] slow down, will I ever unwind
I still don't [G] know
[C] And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder [F] what
[G] What the world would be like if it wasn't so [C] fucked up
With smoking, drinking, fighting all [F] night long
And [G] I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder till my [C] bottle's gone
I [Am] pray every night to that man in the clouds
With no [C] cloud, and it brings me down
I'm [Am] thankful for all that I've ever had
But I still keep [F] the blues, what's a man [G] to do
[Am] When I drink, I smoke, I fight for my right
[F] To party like a fool every goddamn night
[G] When I walk up in the bar, everybody know my name
Still Bill Bailey, [D] ain't a dance, [C] ain't chase
And I know y'all came just to have a good time
[F] Listen to the music with a little bit of
[G] Sip on your tequila with a little bit of
And I'll be [D] doing right [C] with a whole lot of [Am] shine
When the time comes that you gotta go home
Find a pretty little thing so you don't go alone
[C] And you ever feeling down, you're lucky and you're stuck
Down in a rut, about to throw your hands [Am] up
Me at the bar, me and you can take a shot
We can talk about all the problems that we got
[F] How one day you're here and the next you're gone
[G] Let's forget about it all till the lights [F#] come on
[C] And I wonder, wonder, wonder, [F] wonder what
[G] What the world would be like if it wasn't so [C] fucked up
We're smoking, drinking, fighting all [F] night long
And [G] I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder till [D] my [C] bottle's gone
[Am] I pray every night to that man in the clouds with [C] no reply
[Am] I'm thankful for all that I've ever had
I still [F] keep the blue, what's a [G] man to do?
[D#] [C] Was it lack of faith or grave [F] misfortune?
What brought me to this lowly [G] place?
This one thing I can be sure of
The [D] more I get, [C] the more I crave
It's simple, yes, I know it Lord, [F] but I just can't stay awake
[G] Try as I might, I just think written tonight
What I'm gonna get right [Bm] one of [C] these days
[Am] I keep on scratching and picking until my skin isn't ribbing
Still I forget all the sort of places I've been at before
[C] So unfocused, sometimes I feel like I'm going so fast
I scuttle the metal, putting the gas to the floor
[Am] I hate to admit it, sometimes I think I can quit it
But from the bottom I hit it, I'm bouncing off of the [F] course
No longer a cynic, I'm about to put on a clinic
[G] You better listen, don't listen, ain't gotta wonder no [C] more
And I wonder, wonder, wonder, [F] wonder what
[G] What the world would be like if it wasn't so [C] fucked up
We're smoking, drinking, fighting [F] all night long
