Low down leaving sun, I've done

Did everything that needs done

D B7

Woe is me, why can't I see

E7 A

I best be leaving well enough alone

Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights

Them keep a-haunting me in memories

D B7

There is one in every crowd, for crying out loud

E7 A

Why was it always turning out be me

[Chorus]

Where does it go, the good Lord only knows

It seems like it was just the other day

D B7

I was down at Green Gables, hawking them tables

E7 A

And generally blowing all my hard earned pay

Piano roll blues, danced holes in my shoes

There weren't another other way to be

D B7

For loveable losers, no account boozers

E7 A D

And honky tonk heroes like me
