Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][D][G][D][G]
[Gm]
I [G]better keep

[Verse 1]
myself from being busted
I better keep myself out of jail
'Cause I ain't got a friend
to get me trusted
That's why my mama sends
my money through the mail
[Gm]I've been

[Verse 2]
[G]down on my luck
I've been down on my wealth
I'm gonna start taking care of business
Start taking care of my health

[Verse 3]
I've gotta [F]leave this town
I've gotta leave this town behind
[G]I've gotta leave this town ton[Gm]ight

[Verse 4]
Well, I [G]set off down the main street
With such a long, long way to go
But before I started I was
cornered on the corner
Still waiting for my sugar to show
I've [Gm]been down

[Verse 5]
[G]on my luck
I've been down on my wealth
I've gotta stop taking care of
somebody's else's business

[Interlude 1]
Start taking care of myself
[G][F][G]

[Verse 6]
I've gotta [G]leave this town
I've [F]gotta leave this town behind
[G]I've gotta leave this town

tonight

[G]

[Verse 7]
I [G]was fooling around with
the sheriff's daughter
She was a real fine fox
But the sheriff - he came after
And threatened to lock me

[Verse 8]
in a cell box
[G]
He showed me his magnum
He showed me his shotgun
He stuck it in my face
And said, "Boy,

[Interlude 3]
I think you best be gone."
[G][F]

[Verse 9]
I've gotta [F]leave [G]this town
I've gotta [F]leave this town behind
[G]I've gotta leave this town tonight

[Outro 1]
[G]
