Verse 1:
C#5 E5
My first record was "The Pressure Is On"
B F#
Ain't it funny how your life can change with a song
C#5 E5 F#
That's the first time I ever heard Country Boy Can Survive"
C#5 E5
Now I got a guitar and a little band
B F#
I live hard, I live fast, just like the man
C#5 E5 F#
'Cause you can't just play it, boy it's got to be part of your life
Pre-Chorus 1:
E F# C#5 *Riff 2*
Guess I'm finally whiskey bent now, I'm hell bound
E F# C#5
I've been low but I ain't ever been this far down
Chorus 1:
E F#
I need a back road somewhere deep in the pines
B B/A# F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
E F# C#5 *Riff 2*
'Cause I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
E F#
Yeah I pray to the Lord, struggle and strive
B B/A# 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#5 E5
Almost OD'd in Denver just the other night
B F#
I was high in the Rockies on a 13 hour flight
C#5 E5 F#
Trying to get home to my country state of mind
C#5 E5
Now these blues they come and go just like the rain
B F#
I need a little more help to ease the pain
C#5 E5 F#
Mr. Weatherman won't you please push these clouds away
Pre-Chorus 1:
E F# C#5 *Riff 2*
Leave me alone 'cause I'm singing all damn night
E F# C#5
There's a tear in my beer, I guess I finally know why
Chorus 2:
E F#
I need a back road somewhere deep in the pines
B B/A# F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
E F# C#5 *Riff 2*
'Cause I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
E F#
Yeah I pray to the Lord, struggle and strive
B B/A# F#
