[Verse 1]

She said, "I guess there ain't no right way

G Em

For you to say goodbye again

You been looking at the highway

Where your heart has always been

I could cuss you from here to Tuscon

G Em

There ain't nothing left to say, boy"

She said "I thought that I could change you

D D7

Aw, but you were born a playboy"

[Chorus]

So get on the stage and play, boys

Let's kick out the lights tonight, get high, and make noise

We might drink a little too much whiskey

We might have a little too much fun

She's already gone away, boys

D Bm

If we don't go home, what difference does it make, boys?

This ol' world would be a dull place, boys

If it was all work and no play, boys

Yeah I might have a little too much fun

She's already gone away, boys
