Ragged Old Truck
B.J. Shaver


INTRO: A

A
Early this mornin' without any warnin'
  D                   A
I took me a look at myself, good God
  D                        A 
I seen how this married up life I been livin'
    B                     E
Was tryin' to choke me to death
  A             
I laid on the bed with my gun to my head
      D                     A
And I nearly 'bout ended it all
      D                     A          Fm
But I come to myself just before I got killed
      D              E            A
And I blowed me some holes in the wall


CHORUS:
    A
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    D                   A
And haulin' myself into town
    D                              A
I'm thinkin' 'bout raisin' so much doggone much hell
          B                       E
That I'll die 'fore I live it all down
  A        
I lay 'round this place 'til I'm blue in the face
      D                   A
And I may as well be underground
    D                          A          Fm
I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    D         E         A
And haulin' myself into town


SOLO


A honky tonk man in a honky tonk band
With a honky tonk girl on my arm
I may be as ugly as an old mud-rail fence
But I'm loaded with hillbilly charm, that's right
It's my life and no wife of mine's gonna tell me
I can't go and have me some fun
So before that old heffer drives back in from Waco
You can bet your rear end I'll be gone, long gone


CHORUS

         D                          A          Fm
Yeah I'm thinkin' 'bout crankin' my ragged old truck up
    D         E         A
And haulin' myself into town
