Verse 1:
       G         G7              C
Well alright, so long, my better days have come and gone
                D
You see I was a mess y’all, about as bad as they come
          G
And I was walking through the valley of wrong
           G             G7    C
Yeah, so I drink and get high, cussing at the clear blue sky
               D7
When I finally found her, tall drink of water
 G                                     G/B  G/Bb
Standing by the motel sign and she said
D                D7
“Hey there Mister, so nice to see you
G                             G/B  G/Bb
 I heard you’ve broken the law
D                                          D7
Now we can’t be too loud and you better be quick now
            G                      G7
Just because I got a line down the hall”
      C     D7         G
Oh
Lyra
Lyra, you’re pushing me against the wall
                     C
Yeah, she said “Your time is up and I’ve had enough
   D7
Now get your skinny ass on the floor”

Chorus:
          G        C
So if you see me tonight
D7                          G
They’ve caught a man on the run
                  C
His undercover surprise
D7                    G         G7
 The darling deputy’s gun (Give you)
                 C          D7
Oh, whatever you want (Give you)
                      G
Give you whatever you need (Long as)
                       C          D7
Long as you throw me a line (Fill me)
                     G       G7
Fill me your vacancy please, ooh

Verse 2:
          G               G7   C
Now that sweet old, dixie line, how many times have I known
D7
You see she used to carry me all the way across the great state of Tennessee
          G
Until the very day y’all, she just couldn’t no more
          G        G7           C
Yeah so I crawl
I drive late December through to mid July
N.C.            D                        D7
Where the interstate was murder, but her eyes were killer
          G                                       G/B  G/Bb
And I was looking for a place to die when she says
D                                  D7
“Hi there sweetheart, since you’ve come so far
G                                  G/B  G/Bb
Why don’t you stay here for a while
D                               D7
Now I don’t bite none, and I’ll fix you up hon
          G                          G7
I bet you heard me through the radio dial"
     C        D7      G
Oh Lyra, well Lyra
I never mean to let you down
                  C
Yeah I’m about to climb upstairs and climb into bed
        D
Just to show you I ain’t messing around


Chorus:
          G        C
So if you see me tonight
D7                          G
They’ve caught a man on the run
                  C
His undercover surprise
D7                    G         G7
 The darling deputy’s gun (Give you)
                      C          D7
Give you whatever you want (Give you)
                      G
Give you whatever you need (Long as)
                       C          D7
Long as you throw me a line (Fill me)
                     G       G7
Fill me your vacancy please, ooh
