It's a five-star party in a one-bar town

People say, "Son you gonna come to harm 
Dm                       G
Better fly right, better stay down on the farm"

But there ain't no farm left to stay down on 
    F                  G
And all my reasons for staying are gone

One fine morning when my ship come in

Gonna pack my fortune, take it home again 
Am       C            Am       C  
Stack my sorrows like stones until
