[D] I've been left and right and [G]wrong,
[G] Well I walk the walk and I run my [C]mouth,
[D] Been on that short end for too [G]long,
[G] Well if they get medals for honky-tonk [C]wars,
[D] Hell, I'd keep mine in my chest-of-dr[G]awers,
[G] With my RS Bills and Divorce Papers and [C]all that stuff,
