C G C

Verse:
   C                              G
That wife of mine, the suspicious kind, she says that I'm quite a flirter
                                   C
But I've been a good boy all of the time and I wouldn't do nothin' to hurt her
    C                          F
She'll tan my hide for spendin' the night with Betty Lou or Alice
    G                              C    G  C
But I'm sleepin' alone in this wreck I own, I'm broke down south of Dallas

Verse:
   C                              G
When I stumble home at the break of dawn she better not be suspicious
                                   C
'Cause I'm about at the end of my rope and she better not act too viscious
    C                          F
I'm a-covered with grease from my head to my feet, my hands are cut and calloused
    G                              C    G  C
I spent all my bucks on a broke down truck, I'm broke down south of Dallas

Verse:
   C                              G
I'm a happy guy when the miles go by, there ain't too much that I'm missin'
                                   C
But I got a wife with a fryin' pan and when she talks I listen
    C                          F
I'm the king of the road she's the queen of the house and it may not be a palace
    G                              C    G  C
But it sure beats a load by the side of the road, broke down south of Dallas

Outro:
    G                               C   G  C
Yeah it sure beats a load by the side of the road, broke down south of Dallas
