David Allan Coe - Bossier City
[Intro]
C
My Fhands are shaking Gas I'm sadly ClearningF  
The truth behind Gyour innocent disCguiseF  
You never thought I Gknew, Amthat you had been untrueD  
But I Donce saw the devilG, somewhere in your eyes.
[Chorus]
And now Fyou got the nerve to Gask me where I'm Cgoin
And FI don't believe I'd Gtell you if I Cknew
I'll Fbe gone when the Gsun comes up toCmorrowAm  
I Fbelieve it's time to Gsay good-bye to Cyou
And it Gsure smells like Fsnow in Bossier CCity
But there Dain't no weather quite as cold as Gyou
I'd Fsooner stand Gin Mother Nature's CangerAm  
Than to Fspend another Glonely night with Cyou.F  G  C  
I'm Ftalking but GI'm feeling you're not ClisteninF  
My words they just Gfall heavy on the Cfloor
Yes Fit's true that Gyou knew, AmI would not stay foreverD  
And you won't see me cryingG, when I walk out your door.
[Chorus]
GAnd it sure smellFs like snow in BCossier City
But there Dain't no weather quite as cold as Gyou
I'd Fsooner stand Gin Mother Nature's CangerAm  
Than to Fspend another Glonely night with Cyou.F  G  C
