Intro Chords:




[G/F#]

You can say it’s all my fault and I can blame it on you[G/F#]
We can beat this horse all night if you want to
We can talk in circles, baby, we can drive it to the ground[G/F#]
But it’d sure be nice if we could work it out

Chorus:
‘Cause it’s a hard fight to win
Our backs up to the wall
You won’t break and I won’t bend
Don’t that just beat all
‘Cause it’s a hard fight to win

Come morning I was so far gone but I think all night about it
Try to reach you on a truck stop telephone
Maybe we can work it out so we don’t have to shout it
I just hope I find you home alone
Chorus

Let it out easy
Or let it out slow
Or this could be the end of it, before we know. [D/C](now. [D/B]no.)[D/A]

Chorus
Chorus

Me and my friends drove down to the riverside
With a half case of beer and a couple bottles of wine
And the rain started to fall
We tipped our bottles and the river overflowed

Chorus:
Floodwater, carry me away
Take my mind to another place
Drown my sorrow, kill my fear
Floodwater, take me far away from here

Guitars ringin’, hazy smoke filled room
People swayin’, two-step drunken fools
And it looks like stormy weather
Emptied my glass, and everything got better

Chorus

Far away from the deep blue Texas skies
The Red River creature tried to steal away my mind
But the way, the truth and the light
Would not forsake the one for 99

Chorus

Some I still have and some I ain’t got
Well there’s one thing I learned and it still rings true
Well there’s nothing more lonely than lonely for you

Chorus:
Now I’m torn up inside (torn up inside)
Torn up inside (torn up inside)
Torn up inside, baby (torn up inside)
Torn up inside
Torn up inside over you (over you)

Well I never knew love until I met you
I thought I did once, but that was a fluke
Ah, you come along, and you stole my heart
Well your huggin and kissin’, it tore it apart
Chorus
I never wined and dined you
I never showed you the world
I knew that all you wanted
Were those three little words
You didn’t want money
You didn’t need jewels
You just wanted love
And I fked that up, too
Chorus

If you walk out on me now just remember
E A W A
That I’m a stubborn son of a bh and you won’t be welcome back
I won’t eat my pride for you if you know me like I think you do
You must know that I’ll cut you no slack even if I need you, even if I am blue

Chorus:
’Cause you should know that I won’t bow to you
I won’t kiss your ass like you want me to
If you won’t put your trust and faith in me
Do you realize what this space might bring
I won’t back down, if you walk out now, walk out now

You try and tell me I’m the one,
The one responsible for all your little problems
You say you feel the time has come
We both know it’s not my fault
When the time’s come for you to come back crawlin’
And I’ve got some words of wisdom for you
Do unto others as you’ve had done to you
Chorus

Verse 1

Well, it sure didnt take to long
I woke up in the morning she was gone
And the note that she wrote didnt say dear john
It said goodbye fker im gone

She was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna be rocker She was more into Merle
Couldn’t see it just wouldn’t work

Chorus
And now I’m double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli
But I’m never getting over Joely

Verse 2
Well I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn’t let me in Cause I ain’t a movie star
So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar

Well the bouncer threw me out too
And I didn’t know what to do
So I picked up the phone And I called dear Sue
The cock blocker wouldn’t let me through

Chorus 2
And now I’m wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me
But I’m never getting over Joely

Verse 3
Well I gathered up all my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
I drove to her house and parked out on the lawn
She’s right I always was the crazy one.

Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
Said “calm down would you like a drink”
And I shot him full of holes From his nose to his knees
And I polished off her little sweet pea

Chorus 3
And I’m crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy
But I’m never getting over Joely
Now I’ll probably get life and serve at least forty,
But I’m never getting over Joely

Lately I’ve been goin’ crazy
I can’t seem to find a way to make it go
I feel so jaded
What’s come over me I’ll never know
But the sun comes up
And I drive a truck to work
I stumble through the day
My boss thinks I’m a crook
And I’m thinkin’ things might be all right, if you could

Chorus:

Come on over
Come on over
Come on over tonight

I woke up with another hangover
I stayed up way too late, it’s a big old shame
It’s not this mainly
I wake up every day feelin’ just the same
Because I played all night
in a rockin’ rollin’ band
I slip the sunglasses on
God, I hope you understand
And I’m thinkin’ things are gonna be just fine, if you could

Chorus

Bridge:
If there ever was a time it should be now
Let’s stop and turn this train around

Solo

Well I got to wonderin’
Just how my life got so out of control
Standin’ right outside on my front porch
And when I saw your face
Spread peace all around
And there was nothin’ on this earth
That could ever bring me down
And I’m thinkin’ things are gonna be just fine, now that you’ve

Come on over
Come on over
Come on over tonight
Come on over tonight
