C F C G x2
Verse:
------
C
Well in 2007 I took a little trip
F
Along with my guitar, 'cross the mighty Miss-a-sip
C G
And I was headin' out to Cali' for a show or two
C
Well I'd been drivin' for a damn long time
F
My eyes were getting heavy and my throat was dry
C
So I stopped off in this little Texas town
G
For a brew
C
Well every one stared, I don't know why
F
Had my aviators on just to shade my eye
C G
It must have been the long hair and sandels I had on
C
Yeah I just wasn't quite Western enough
F
No boots, hats or buckles or any of that stuff
C G
And my t-shirt had some lyrics from a Bob Marley song
C
So I sat at the bar, put my head down low
F
Figured just one beer then I would go
C G
'Cause I'd never been one to go around lookin' for a fight
C
So I finished the beer, put my tip on the bar
F
Started making my way out front to the car
C G
Thought I'd hit the road and everything would be alright
Wrong!
Intertlude:

F C G C x2
Verse:
------
C
You know things don't always go as planned
F
You just got to play the cards in your hand
C G
And that day God dealt me a two and a seven off suite
C
Well I'd almost made it to the door
F
When suddenly I found my ass on the floor
C G
And I'd looked up to see what I'd gotten myself into
C
He's about six foot five, three hundred pounds
F
It was him and his buddies all standin' around
C G
Just starin' down at me with this evil look in their eye
C
He said you look like a goddamn liberal bastard
F
Bet you love Marylin Albright and hate Dennis Thacher
C G C
And judgin' by the hippy shit you're wearin' I'd say I'm right
C
Well you're an unpatriotic Yankee piece of shit
F
You'll vote Hillary Clinton for president
C G
And if you'll step outside I'll knock some sense in your head
C
Things were escalatin' really fast
F
I had to think of something quick just to save my ass
C G C
So I stood up, brushed my self off, looked at him and said
Chorus:
