Intro 
G D Em C x 2 
 
G                 D 
She wakes up, she can't stop shaking 
 
Em                  C 
Feels just like her heart is breaking 
 
G                              D 
Behind these doors there's not much for the taking 
 
      Em                    C 
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 
 
G D Em C 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 
 
Chorus 
 
D                           C               G 
She's been known to stay up three days in a row 
 
D                   C           D 
She's been known to let herself go 
 
​ 
G D Em C 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 
 
​ 
G D Em C 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
