G C
When I was younger
G C
Lord, I had a hunger
G D
For cheap scotch and cross-country drives
G C
Well I met a woman
G C
And the cops kicked my door in
G D
Now I ain't got nothin' that I can't leave
G
behind
[Verse 2]
G C
Sing me your reasons
G C
The Lord's changin' seasons
G D
Always leave me in the lurch
G C
But an omniscient chuckle
G C
Or a daddy's belt and buckle
G D
Ain't all it would take to get me back to
G
church
[Chorus]
C G
So take what you got and do something with it
D G
Don't waste your money on cocaine and whippets
C G Em
And watch what you say at the end of the day
Am D
You get less for your dollar and more hell to pay
[Verse 3]
G C
Well my grandpa said
G C
Living and death
G D
Are only heart beat apart
G C
So it's one for the money
G C
And two for my honeys
G D G
That I left in Mobile for Houston last night
[Chorus]
C G
So take what you got and do something with it
D G
Don't waste your money on cocaine and whippets
C G
Watch what you say at the end of the day
Am
You get less for your dollar
G C
So much less for your dollar
Am D
You get less for your dollar and more hell
G
to pay
