A                                    D          A 
She's on the highest dose of prozac a woman can take,  
                                            D       A     
She's likes to pop her pain pills with every little ache,  
                               D        A 
She's got a Tennessee mountain point of view,  
                                D         A 
If your gonna have one might as well have two 

A                      D         A   
Raised up right in the hills of Kentucky,  
                                 D             A 
No she ain't gonna smile til she lights up her lucky,  
                          D        A 
No filter on her mouth or her cigerettes 
                                D        A 
Oh baby what your lookin' at is what you get 


D 
Ya we owe 400 dollars to the boys in the band 
A 
Gas lights blinking on our broke down van 
D 
We're living on truck stop burgers and fries 
A 
Crossing our fingers for a vacancy sign 
    E 
Now who in the hell is gonna pay these bills  
     D                                         A 
When one's drinking, ones smoking, ones taking pills 

A                                    D        A 
She's a root tootin' pistol from the lonestar state 
                               D             A 
She's mixes up a double at the break of everyday 
                            D         A 
She might get crazy but she don't get mean 
                        D           A 
Until some drunk cowboy asks her to sing 

D 
Ya we owe 400 dollars to the boys in the band 
A 
Gas lights blinking on our broke down van 
D 
We're living on truck stop burgers and fries 
A 
Crossing our fingers for a vacancy sign 
    E 
Now who in the hell is gonna pay these bills  
     D                                           A 
When one's drinking, one's smoking, one's taking pills 

A                       D      A 
Now we ain't ashamed of who we are 
                     D        A 
We like fast men and cheap guitars 
                              D            A              
Ain't trying to get rich just trying to get by 
                         D        A  
By playing for tips on a saturday night 

D 
We owe 400 dollars to the boys in the band 
A 
Gas lights blinking on our broke down van 
D 
We're living on truck stop burgers and fries 
A 
Crossing our fingers for a vacancy sign 
    E 
Now who in the hell is gnona be pay these bills 
     D                                            A 
When one's drinking, one's smoking, one's taking pills
