  			E 
My drinking days are over 
        A                  E 
No more nights at the Carousel 
E 
My buddies say they're gonna miss me but 
E               B 
Who could ever tell 
A                 E 
I never knew what time it was 
    E                 A  
Til closing time came round 
E                    B 
My drinking days are over 
A                    E 
But I'm still troublebound  
 
 
  E 
I used to hang at the Horseshoe 
             A                      E 
You'd see me spinning at the Broken Spoke 
E 
I'd take my gal to The Gaslight 
E                       B  
We lived on whiskey and smoke 
A                     E  
Don't know how it all started 
E                      A 
Didn't mean to hurt no one 
E                        B               E 
Some bad luck and what's done can't be undone  
 
 
Well it was way past midnight 
Anetta hollered out last call 
I turned around and Wranglin' Ron 
Was headed for a brawl 
I didn't know that other guy was a cop 
I guess I didn't care 
Sometime you gotta act like you gotta pair  
 
 
Chorus 
 
Steel solo 
 
I got a ride out to Huntsville 
I'll be there for a while 
Staring out a mesh window 
Mile after mile 
I don't have any regrets, well 
Maybe just a few 
But a man's gonna do what he's gonna do  
 
 
Chorus
