Was, "Son, you better get them crops in when it gets cool."

In the magazines, I saw the naked women

I heard about the drinkin' and the bars

If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me
          A                                          D
He said, "You might run, boy, but you won't get that far."

I hit town or you might say that it hit me
A                                          D
Next mornin' there were things I knew more about
D                  G                      D

They fed two times a day and knocked you down about four
A                                      D
By the 13 day I... couldn?t even crack a smile

She let me go and would never tell me why

They let you lie in your bed by yourself so you can cry

D                   G                     D
So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody
A                                                          D
Though I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in the eye
