  			     G     C           G  
It?s 6:05 AM on Sunday morning   
G                          D                 G  
I was supposed to leave for Memphis late last night  
G                C                    G  
But I stopped at one of those highway places   
G               C                   D           G  
Cause I did I'm sleepin' in Tarrant County jail tonight  
  
Well I started tonight with good intentions   
But I ended up getting  sideways drink'n wine   
Well the last thing I remembered we was rollin?  
Till something hit my head and  knocked me From  my conscious mind  


          D                      G  
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances  
           A7                                       D  
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances   
C                        G  
Singing them old country songs   
    G             C               D                G  
And half the time endin? up some place I don't belong  
  
  
I said jailer, hey what you'll got me charged with  
He looked at me and halfway closed one eye   
Well he said to me, you say you don't remember  
Cuttin' up some fool with that long handle knife   
  
Chorus
