White House Road - Tyler Childers
Drop-D, Capo 5
[Verse]
DEarly in the morning when the sun does rise
CLayin’ in the bed with Gbloodshot eyes
DLate in the evening when the sun sinks low
CThat’s about the time my Grooster crows
[Verse]
DI got women up and down this creek
And Cthey keep me going and my Gengine clean
DRun me ragged but I don’t fret
Cause Cthere ain’t been one slow me Gdown none yet
[Chorus]
DGet me drinkin’ that moonshine
CGet me higher than the Ggrocery bill
DTake my troubles to the high wall
CThrow ‘em in the river and Gget your fill
DWe been sniffin’ that cocaine
CAin’t nothin’ better when the Gwind cuts cold
DLord it’s a mighty hard living
But a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roads
[Verse]
I Dgot people try to tell me Red
CKeep this livin’ and you’ll Gwind up dead
DCast your troubles on the lord of lords
CWind up layin’ on a Gcoolin’ board
[Verse]
But DI got buddies up at White House Road
And they Ckeep me struttin’ when my Gfeet hang low
DRot gut whiskey gonna ease my pain
And Call this runnin’s gonna Gkeep me sane
[Chorus]
DGet me drinkin’ that moonshine
CGet me higher than the Ggrocery bill
DTake my troubles to the high wall
CThrow ‘em in the river and Gget your fill
DWe been sniffin’ that cocaine
CAin’t nothin’ better when the Gwind cuts cold
DLord it’s a mighty hard living
But a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roads
It’s a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roads
[Verse]
DWhen you lay me in the cold hard clay
Won’t you Csing them hymns while the Gbanjo plays
DTell them ladies that they ought not frown
Cause there Cain’t been nothing ever Gheld me downD  
[Bridge]
GLawman, women, or a shallow grave
GSame old blues, just a different day
[Chorus]
DGet me drinkin’ that moonshine
CGet me higher than the Ggrocery bill
DTake my troubles to the high wall
CThrow ‘em in the river and Gget your fill
DWe been sniffin’ that cocaine
CAin’t nothin’ better when the Gwind cuts cold
DLord it’s a mighty hard living
But a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roadsD  
[Outro]
It’s a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roadsD  
It’s a Cdamn good feelin’ to Grun these roadsD
