Tonight I'm gonna sleep in a good hotel
AmCDA nice warm bath if all goes well I've

Been out in the badlands twenty-one days

Traded love away for a streak of mean

Now he's tied to my saddle with his head hung low
CDG
Out on the glory road

So all you down town ladies won't you

Dress in style

I've got some gold in my saddle bags
CG
I'd trade it for a smile
DC
Let's have dinner on the devil tonight
GC C9maj7 Am
Tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
GD
Won't you come along, I'll be riding on
CDG
The glory road some day
GD
Two men painted on a midnight sky
AmCD
One slung low, the other riding high
GDCD
I wonder if anybody knows just why I had to shoot him down
GDCDGD
And now I lay me down to rest
AmCD
God bless the boy, my bullet in his chest
GD
But you can't bless me 'cause I lost my soul
CDG
Out on the glory road
