Verse 1:
C#5C#5           E5E5
My first record was "The Pressure Is On"
     BB            F#F#
Ain't it funny how your life can change with a song
      C#5C#5           E5E5       F#F#
That's the first time I ever heard Country Boy Can Survive"
   C#5C#5        E5E5
Now I got a guitar and a little band
    BB            F#F#
I live hard, I live fast, just like the man
      C#5C#5             E5E5           F#F#
'Cause you can't just play it, boy it's got to be part of your life

Pre-Chorus 1:
E MajorE               F#F#         C#5C#5  *Riff 2*
  Guess I'm finally whiskey bent now, I'm hell bound
E MajorE          F#F#          C#5C#5
I've been low but I ain't ever been this far down


Chorus 1:
     E MajorE          F#F#
I need a back road somewhere deep in the pines
 BB     B/A#       F#F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
      E MajorE            F#F#          C#5C#5 *Riff 2*
'Cause I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
    E MajorE          F#F#
Yeah I pray to the Lord, struggle and strive
     BB     B/A#   F#F#
But I'll never get out this world alive
  E(ring)              F#(ring)
Oh, Hank, won't you help me 'cause I'm lowdown singing the blues

Verse 2:
    C#5C#5           E5E5
Almost OD'd in Denver just the other night
    BB            F#F#
I was high in the Rockies on a 13 hour flight
C#5C#5           E5E5        F#F#
Trying to get home to my country state of mind
     C#5C#5             E5E5
Now these blues they come and go just like the rain
     BB          F#F#
I need a little more help to ease the pain
  C#5C#5          E5E5           F#F#
Mr. Weatherman won't you please push these clouds away


Pre-Chorus 1:
E MajorE           F#F#        C#5C#5     *Riff 2*
Leave me alone 'cause I'm singing all damn night
     E MajorE             F#F#      C#5C#5
There's a tear in my beer, I guess I finally know why


Chorus 2:
     E MajorE          F#F#
I need a back road somewhere deep in the pines
 BB     B/A#       F#F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
      E MajorE            F#F#          C#5C#5 *Riff 2*
'Cause I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
    E MajorE          F#F#
Yeah I pray to the Lord, struggle and strive
     BB     B/A#   F#F#
But I'll never get out this world alive
  E(ring)              F#(ring)
Oh, Hank, won't you help me 'cause I'm lowdown singing the blues
