[Verse 1]
[G]Early in the morning when the sun does rise
[F]Layin' in the bed
with [C]bloodshot [G]eyes
Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low
[F]That's about time my [C]rooster [G]crows

[Verse 2]
[G]I got women up and down this creek
And they [F]keep me going
and my [C]engine [G]clean
Run me ragged but I don't fret
'Cause there [F]ain't been one
slow me [C]down none [G]yet

[Chorus 1]
[G]Get me drinking' that moonshine
[F]Get me higher than the [C]grocery bill
[G]Take my troubles to the highwall
[F]Throw'em in the river and [C]get your fill
[G]We been sniffing that cocaine
[F]Ain't nothin' better when the [C]wind cuts cold
[G]Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
But a [F]damn good feelin' to [C]run these roads

Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lord's
[F]Wind up
laying on a [C]coolin' [G]board

[Verse 4]
But [G]I got buddies up White House Road
And they [F]keep me
strutting when my [C]feet hang [G]low
Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
And [F]all this
running's gonna [C]keep me sane

[Chorus 2]
[G]Get me drinking' that moonshine
[F]Get me higher than the [C]grocery bill

[Verse 5]
[G]When you lay me in the cold hard clay
Won't ya [F]sing them hymns
while the [C]banjo [G]plays
You can tell them
ladies that they ought not frown
'Cause there [F]ain't been
nothing ever [C]held me [G]down
[C]Lawmen and women or a shallow grave
Same ol' blues just a different day

[Chorus 3]
[G]Get me drinking' that moonshine
[F]Get me higher than the [C]grocery bill

to [C]run these roads
[G]It's a dam[F]n good feelin'
