E
Well,
G#m

my name is Ray Thomas,
F#
G#m
And I'll spin you a tale

if you lend me your ear

with a smoke and a beer
F#

Well I'm 65 now and

I'm still on the road

in the snow and the cold

where us locals do dwell

And the booze treats you right

comes right over to me
F#
G#m

any and every old time

They all told me I wasn't

to blame
F#
G#m

An d I turn to the bottom
F#
G#m
E
And I ain't coming back
B

till I no longer glimpse that

Crushed all the way into his back seat
F#
G#m
E
By my 18 -wheel killer,
B
F#
G#m
E
B
my hands and my feet
F#
G#m
And on the hard days she knows
E
B
and she gives me a smile
F#
G#m
And I'll tell her a joke
E
B
and laugh for a while
F#
G#m
And she'll keep the beers
E

comin' till 2 or till 3

Well, my eldest son Randy

when he knocked me clean out

F#
the man I taught him to be,
G#m
E
with my own swollen knuckles,
B
F#
G#m
E

G#m
And my two girls,
E
B
F#

and faded

Grew up as a farm girl,
F#
G#m
And it's waitress by night,
E
B
F#
and it's study by day

with invincible
G#m
E
B
F#
G#m
Oh, my blue -collar princess,
E

such wit and such grace
G#m

As she snaps at the sinners
B

who frequent this place
G#m
E
As they try to caress her,
