G D7
I'm setting in this honky tonk down to my last dime
G
I'll bet you've heard this tale of woe at least a million times
C
I'm the guy that used to own that big house across the tracks
G D7 G
But the only thing that I own now are the cloths upon my back
C
A different girl most every night I thought this was the life
A7 D7
I tried to please them all but that just didn't please my wife
G C
I kicked myself a million times for treating her so bad
G D7 G
I took her for a fool so she took me for all I had
D7
I used to have a big garage two Cadillac's inside
G
A pretty wife who loved just me but I wasn't satisfied
C
The house the wife the car belong now to another man
G D7 G
Cause she caught me with another girl and that's when it hit the fan
