                            GOODNIGHT, TEXAS

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
 A       D               A
Started work when I was ten
         D               A
Like my father did back then
         D                     A      D       A   Asus4 A
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames

 A     D                     A
Fifty years up in that that mill
          D                  A
I nearly killed myself and still
         D             A          D  Dsus4 D
I ain`t got no dollar bill to my name


INSTRUMENTAL:
A  D  A  D  A  D  A D A D


VERSE:
 A        D                    A
Old Bill Hicks from nowhere`s middle
           D               A
Taught me how to play the fiddle
          D               A        D    A  Asus4 A
In East Ohio there ain`t too much goin` on

 A      D                A
But we like it that way here
          D             A
Not much changes every year
             D               A
Except the whiskey jug gets lower
           D  Dsus4  D
Till it`s gone


CHORUS:
                 G
At the same old screen door
          D
That the dog scratched through
                  G
And the same old wood floor
       D
Underneath my shoe
                  G
And the same old woman
         D            Bm
Making chicken every night
          A              A
Yeah, I guess did alright


INSTRUMENTAL:
D  A  D  A  D   A D A D


VERSE:
A     D          A
I was only seventeen
       D                  A
Met a girl from Bowling Green
            D        A       D       A  Asus4 A
It was the fieriest kind of winter fling

 A        D               A
She got pregnant with my son
          D               A
I didn`t have nowhere to run
      D                A              D    Dsus4 D
So I manned up and we married in the Spring


CHORUS:
                 G
At the same old screen door
          D
That the dog scratched through
                  G
And the same old wood floor
       D
Underneath my shoe
                  G
And the same old woman
         D             Bm
Causin` trouble every night
          A                A
Yeah, I guess I did alright


INSTRUMENTAL:
D A D A D A D A
G  D  G  D
G  Bm  A  A


VERSE:
 A       D               A
Started work when I was ten
         D               A
Like my father did back then
         D                     A      D       A   Asus4 A
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames

 A       D            A
Now I`m nearly sixty-eight
       D                 A
Got a gal that sets me straight
              D             A
And I`ve got supper on my plate
               D               A
And I`ve got grandkids on the way
           D             A
And I owe money to the state
            D              A
Because my taxes all were late
             D                A
But if you think I care then you`re
N.C.          D  Dsus4 D
Just makin` noise


CHORUS:
                 G
At the same old screen door
          D
That the dog scratched through
                  G
And the same old wood floor
       D
Underneath my shoe
                  G
And the same old woman
        D                  Bm
Leavin` on that old porch light
          A  N.C.
Yeah, I guess I did alright
