[Verse]
CPour me up a Gdrink, there's a Dbottle in the seat
EmI'm only half Dway to crazy by nCow
We are Cpast that breaking Gpoint, pDast that road of choice
And there Emain't nothing lDeft in this tCown
I thought by Emnow I woulda Dfigured shit oCut
[Verse]
EmYou and mDe we got some Cbad reputGations
We dEmance round like tDhieves in the Cnight
EmI bet your hDalo could use some rCeconsiderGation
But it's the oEmnly thing that mDakes this alrCight
[Chorus]
Heaven Emknows time ain't sDlowing down
Yeah Cwe still kick aGround our saDme ol' stomping grounds
And lEmife, it'll paDss you by
As yCou drink all through the nGight under a HoDuston county sky
Em D C B#m A G D
[Verse]
So rColl me up a sGmoke, I'll taDke a toke for hope
I'm only hEmalf way to D80 by nCow
You Cwas the peanut quGeen, I was 1D7 and mean
You wanted Emso bad to lDeave this tCown
Ain't it fEmunny how it aDll works oCut
[Verse]
EmAin't nothing lDeft but making lCove and raising bGabies
There aiEmn't nothing wroDng with the simple lCife
EmHey darling, I lDove you, but the smCoke is getting hGazy
Maybe Emwe should just gDet drunk and fiCght
Down at the EmGin on a DSaturday niCght
[Chorus]

Pour me up a drink, there's a bottle in the seat

Heaven knows time ain't slowing down

You wanted so bad to leave this town

Em D C

Ain't it funny how it all works out

[Verse]

Em D C G

Ain't nothing left but making love and raising babies

Em D C

There ain't nothing wrong with the simple life

Hey darling, I love you, but the smoke is getting hazy

Maybe we should just get drunk and fight

Em D C

Down at the Gin on a Saturday night
