IntroGDEmC x 2
GD
She wakes up, she can't stop shaking
EmC
Feels just like her heart is breaking
GD
Behind these doors there's not much for the taking
EmC
But I guess it's her lot in life
She's been known to burn a little ice
Dance at the bar and act real nice
Then head on out with a couple of guys
Just like it was her lot in life
GDEmC x 1
So many towns, too many places
She closes her eyes to forget the faces
In the corner of her mind she still finds traces
They go on and on and on
Later that night, when she's coming down
Like a house of cards on shaky ground
She turns on the radio and hears the sound
Of an old Gram Parsons song
ChorusDCG
She's been known to stay up three days in a row
DCD
She's been known to let herself go
GDEmC x 4
Late last night we got your sister's car
Never thought you'd ever take it quite this far
So tell your momma and she'll tell you pa
That we're all coming home
Then comes the long ride Austin
Some you win, I guess everybody's lost one
You kept on pushing until there was nothing left
Chorus
GDEmC x 4
She wakes up she can't stop shaking
Feels just like her heart is breaking
Behind these doors there's not much for the taking
But I guess it was your lot in life
