| D# | G# | D# | |
| Bein' at most just a | country boy innocent and | all |
| G# | D# | |
| I turned my face aw | ay from the farm, on the city I would | call |
| Cm | F | |
| Hey, what's doin' in the town of fortune and | fame? |
| D#7 | F# | Bbm | D#m | C# | |
| Bright lights a-glowin', I've come to make my | name |
| D# | G# | D | |
| You see I've got my | ol' guitar, I'm not a beggin' | fool |
| G# | D | |
| I play this town and a | thousand more God knows I keep my | cool |
| Cm | F | |
| So what's a missin'? I've given my word the | best |
| D#7 | F# | D#7 | F# | |
| And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been | blessed |
| Chorus: |
| B | F# | |
| My my, | can't you see the warnin' |
| B | F# | |
| When the | fires burn in hell you better | pay |
| B | F# | |
| Oh Yeah it's | gonna get you in the mornin' |
| B | F# | Bbm | D#m | C# | F# | |
| Now's your | chance you better get | away |
| Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep |
| So many things sittin' on my brain, yes, I need a chance to think |
| But I've been told not to worry, everything's gonna be all right |
| Oh, mama, won't you tell me, why did I leave that night? |
| Seems like it's been ages ago now since I come to town |
| Ain't much changed, every face is the same, oh, people just a-hangin' round |
| So I'm a-leavin' this mornin', gonna go back home today |
| And let me tell you, buddy, turn around if you're fixin' to stay |
| You better go on back today |
| Chorus 2X |
