Starts off in A with a shuffle riff 
A - A - C - C#  
When playing E also same patters E - E - G - G# 
  
(A)Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight 
In a cheap motel on the Missouri side 
I had you (E) out in my car in the parking lot 
(A) Early next morning we were driving east 
Headed for the big city where I felt at least 
We could (E) enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk (A) 
  
(G) Well I spoiled it my speaking my swirling head 
And your (E) grown up eyes turned to me and said 
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you 
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you 
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real 
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal 
  
(A) Well we got to the city and you got a job 
Delivering the LL Bean Catalog 
I was (E) bored and restless didn't know where to go 
(A) Now late one evening after I got up 
My guitar and I found my way into a club 
I saw that (E) queen of diamonds work that big dance floor 
  
(G) Well she looked at me but I couldn't go 
That (E) familiar face said do you wanna know 
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you 
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you 
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real 
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal 
  
Solo in A 
  
(B) You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide (A) 
(F#) No one's got respect for a man going over the side (E) 
  
(A) Well you went back to the station to make sure I wasgone 
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long 
I saw (E) the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me(A) 
(A) Well that greyhound was cool after the summer heat 
I could still your face from my window seat 
I was (E) so happy to see your crooked smile of relief (A) 
  
(G) But after miles and miles of that highway's drone 
I  hear the (E) lastthing you said when we were all alone 
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you 
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you 
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real 
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal 
(E) Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal
