[Intro]
DLace your shoes Cwith country blues, Gramble down that old dusty Droad.
[Verse 1]
DTake your money down Cinto town  Ggonna get rich in the Dgame
DYou come on home drunk down Cat daybreak, Gyou got no room to Dcomplain
[Chorus]
DCause the Gpot can't call the Dkettle black,
cause the the Atrains all runnin' on the Dsame old track
You Gcan't feel nothing but your Dlife flying by
You got tArouble on your hands, Gtrouble on your mind
[Verse 2]
DGrandpa had him a Cwandering eye, he Gmust have passed it on down to Dme
DNone of the girls are Cpretty as Ginny, but GI like some that I Dsee
[Chorus]
DCause the Gpot can't call the Dkettle black,
cause the the Atrains all runnin' on the Dsame old track
You Gcan't feel nothing but your Dlife flying by
You got tArouble on your hands, Gtrouble on your mind
[Verse 3]
DThe bottom of the bottle sure Cmakes you feel good, I Glike you better that Dway
DSo clap your hands and Cmake up a song, I Ghear every word that you Dsay
[Chorus]
DCause the Gpot can't call the Dkettle black,
cause the the Atrains all runnin' on the Dsame old track
You Gcan't feel nothing but your Dlife flying by
You got tArouble on your hands, Gtrouble on your mind
[Outro]
DWhat in the world can a Cpoor boy do but Glet his old rambling Droll.
