Verse:
D G
I've been stayin' out and off the internet
D G
Workin' on the bike I ain't finish yet
Bm G
I don't sleep too much, I don't go to bed
D G D
Like a good boy should
D G
I've been savin' up for a pickup truck
D G
Money down, you ain't got enough
Bm G
Man, I'll run this town when my next check comes
D G D
Like a good boy should
Chorus:
A Bm G
I've been runnin' low on nickels and dimes
Bm F#m G D
I don't think of you, I ain't got the ti-ime
A Bm G
I'm walkin' straight, but it's a crooked old line
D Bm
God, I swear I'm tryin'
D G D
Like a good boy should
[Instrumental]

Verse:
D G
Well, they clean up nice with the diamond fringe
D G
The tumbling dice walkin' down on Fifth
Bm G
And the wrestlers try out politics
D G D
While the getting's good
D G
I ain't wrote a word in a month or so
D G
'Cause my hands, they hurt from a pen so cold
Bm G
And the summer's gone, didn't leave a note
D G D
Like a good boy should
Chorus:
A Bm G
I've been runnin' low on nickels and dimes
Bm D/F# G D
I ain't next up for no peace of mi-ind
A Bm G
I'm walkin' straight, but it's a crooked old line
D Bm
God, I swear I'm tryin'
D G D
Like a good boy should
