♫ Verse 1:

A
I could use a middle finger man in black
            E      G
San Quentin prison track
     A                              E  G
Help break me out this same old same
            A
I could use a conversation with the Hoss
              E   G
Laid out in a honky tonk
    A
Get that Atlanta dog in my veins
            E
And I ain't one to speak for Waylon

But I think if he was here today, he'd say

A                                                    E   G
Take me back in a Cadillac when the sinners were the saints
A                                                        E  G
Mama tried and the fiddles cried and the liquor ran like rain
A                                                   E  G
Sell my soul to rock and roll, let the devils choir sing
    A
The Opry shook and God was good
                   E   G  A
When cowboys did cocaine


♫ Verse 2:

           A
I could take a sunday mornin' coming down
               E    G
Even out with another round
  A                                  E  G
I need that steady drip like the rain
            E
I want that highway high eight second ride that sugar to my brain


♫ Chorus 3:

A                                                    E   G
Take me back in a Cadillac when the sinners were the saints
A                                                        E  G
Mama tried and the fiddles cried and the liquor ran like rain
A                                                   E G
Sell my soul to rock and roll, let the devils choir sing
    A
The Opry shook and God was good
                   E  G
When cowboys did cocaine
A             E  G
Cowboys did cocaine
A             E  G
Cowboys did cocaine

A E G A


♫ Bridge:

                   A
I wanna be with the outlaws and the inmates
C
Running with Merle on a jailbreak
      D
Wanna pull guitar with the poets
         E
When the lights come on at the Boars Nest
         A                    G
I need a long night to get my mind right
      F
And a fight with the devil 'til the sunlight
G
Walkin' with Johnny on a white line


♫ Chorus 4:

Take me back in a Cadillac when the sinners were the saints
A                                                        E  G
Mama tried and the fiddles cried and the liquor ran like rain
A                                                   E G
Sell my soul to rock and roll, let the devils choir sing
    A
The Opry shook and God was good
                   E  G
When cowboys did cocaine
A             E  G
Cowboys did cocaine
A             E  G
Cowboys did cocaine
A             E  G
Cowboys did cocaine
A                E   G
When Cowboys did cocaine
