[Intro]
D      G      A      G       D
[Verse 1]
DSouth bound out of Shreveport heading Ghell bent for his grave
Ahe reads a sign on the barn door Gthat says the good lord Jesus savesD  
DBut I don't think Jesus knows him cause he Gain't the Jesus kind
AHe's a laid back country picker Gwith a laid back country mindD  
[Verse 2]
DHe gave the folks a good show at the Gshreveport coliseum
AThey all heard he's dying, Gso they all come out to seeD  
DFriends and neighbors make him happy, lord them Gsnuff queens treat him kind
AHe's a laid back country picker Gwith a laid back country mindD  
[Chorus]
GUppers, downers, turn arounders Dpicked him up and laid him down
Ehis old troubles keep on swimming Acause their to damn mean to drown
DHe keeps looking for an answer GI know he's never gonna find
AHe's a laid back country picker Gwith a laid back country mindD  
[Instrumental]
     D      G     A      G    D(play twice)
[Verse 3]
DBig Bertha back in Beaumont, says he Greally turns her on
Ashe hits the floor a dancing, when the GDJ plays his songD  
DYou can see somebody loves him, or at Gleast they did one time
AHe's a laid back country picker, Gwith a laid back country mindD
