I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else

The dogs are running down in Memphis 
 Am                           C

Willie Nelson's picking out in Austin 
 Am                          C

 Am                              C 
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room 
 F                                G 
And Kris is making moving picture shows

Like in Kentucky drinkin' shine, shine, shine 

 Am                                 C 
Well I know they're dancing in New Orleans 
 Am                          C 
And old Chicago's bright as day 
 Am                              C 
I'm stuck in Spokane in a motel room 
 F                                 G 
Lord, I wish I had a Dolly Parton tape 

 Am                                       C 
Well Hill and Bare and Billy Joe they're gambling 
 Am                                   C 
And ol TP's frying croppie all night long 
 Am                               C 
They're down at Tootsie's eating chili 
 F                              G 
I'm stuck in Spokane a writing songs 

         C                  F             C 
Hey, I don't know what I'm doing here, I could be someplace else

Like in Atlanta drinkin' wine, wine, wine 
   C                    F            C 
I don't know what I'm doing here, I should be someplace else 
 F                         G 
Like in Kentucky drinkin' clear moonshine
