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 and 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 backroad somewhere deep in the pines
 B         B/A#             F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
            E                        F#                    C#5  *Riff 2*
Because I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
         E                       F#
Yea I've prayed to the Lord I've struggled and strived
     B         B/A#     F#
I'll never get out this world alive
   E*                                  F#*
So Hank won't you help me, because 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 1
         E                  F#
I need a backroad somewhere deep in the pines
 B         B/A#             F#
Spining my wheels until the sun shines
            E                        F#                    C#5  *Riff 2*
Because I'm back at the bottom and I ain't got nothing to lose
         E                       F#
Yea I've prayed to the Lord I've struggled and strived
     B         B/A#     F#
I'll never get out this world alive
   E*                                  F#*
