B                       F# 
I've got a very troubled mind

Ten feet to go, ten feet behind.

and I know I'll get my time.

I've got my own dog barking when I walk inside.

what's the use of holding in my pride

with my sons and daughters.

raise them taller. 

E               B                       F#

I had me a case of them fur coat blues

I’ve got this hesitation and it's running wild

But what's the use of living in doubt

I’ve only got one shot Till my time runs out
