CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C  
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
No more Fnights at the CarouselC  
My buddies say they're gonna miss me but
Who could ever tellG  F  
I never knew what Ctime it was
Til closing time came 'FroundC  
My drinking days are GoverF  
But I'm still trouble boCund 
I used to hang at the Horseshoe
You'd see me Fspinning at the Broken SCpoke
I'd take my gal to The Gaslight
We lived on whiskey and GsmokeF  
Don't know how it all Cstarted
Didn't mean to hurt no FoneC  
Some bad luck and what's Gdone can't be unCdone 
Well, it was way past midnight
Anetta Fhollered out last Ccall
I turned around and Wranglin' Ron
Was headed for a braGwlF  
I didn't know that other Cguy was a cop
I guess I didn't FcareC  
Sometime you gotta Gact like you gotta paCir 
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
No more Fnights at the CarouselC  
No more fights, no more neon lights
I guess it's just as wellG  F

My drinking days are GoverF  
But I'm still trouble boCund 
INSTRUMENTAL:    C    F        C    G    F        C    G  C  
Well, I got a ride out to HuntsvilleF  
I'll be there for aCwhile
Staring out a mesh window
Mile after mGileF  
I don't have any reCgrets
Well, maybe just a feFwC  
But a man's gonna Gdo what he's gonna do C  
CHORUS:
My drinking days are over
No more Fnights at the CarouselC  
My buddies say they're gonna miss me
They can go to hellG  F  
I never knew what Ctime it was
