This is my first attempt at a submission, but I couldn't find this song anywhere,
so I gave it a shot.  It's a great song, hope this helps.  It sounds right to me,
but I'll apologize in advance for any errors.
GBeat up and Dkicked around
GI pick myself up Coff the ground.
GI head east to Danother town
I'm movin' Gon.
GBar room fights and Dbreakin' glass  
GA broken nose and a Csmoker's laugh.
GI'm sure I probably Dcut my life in Ghalf.
***CHORUS***
CWith a suitcase full of Gempty dreams.
DA guitar with Gbroken strings.
CA busted heart that Glongs to sing the Dblues.
CA mind that always Gleads me wrong,
DA head full of Hank GWilliams songs.
CI'm sorry, Dhoney, but this highway's Ghome.
GI've loved pretty women and Dsome that ain't. 
GI'm a burned out junkie Ctruck stop saint,
GSo check the tires and Dfill the tank,
I'm movin' Gon.
GInterstate markers and Dhighway signs,
GEighteen wheels and Cthin white lines.
GDodge a speed trap Done more time,
I'm Ggone.
***REPEAT CHORUS***
BmSo hard to Cleave you here this Gway,
BmWith a white dress and a Cgoodbye Gwave.
BmBut theres mouths to feed and Cbills to pay,
DI'm sorry, honey, I've got to go.
***HARMONICA SOLO***
