    Got 
    out 
    of prison 
    back 
    in 

    '86 and 
    I found 
    me a wife 

    Walked 
    the clean and 
    narrow 

    Just tryin' to 
    stay 
    out and 
    stay 
    alive 

    Got a job 
    at the rendering 

    factory,it ain't 
    gonna 
    make me 
    rich 

    In 
    the darkness 
    before 

    dinner 
    comes 

    Sometimes 
    I can 
    feel the 
    it 

    I got a cold 
    mind 
    to 
    go trip

    ping across 
    that 
    thin 
    line 

    I'm 
    sick 
    of 
    doin straight 
    time 

    Verse 2
    My 
    uncles 
    at the 
    evenin' 
    table 

    makes his 
    living 
    runnin' 
    hot 
    cars 

    Slips 
    me 
    a hundred 
    dollar 
    bill, 
    says 

    "Charlie, 
    you 
    best 
    remember 

    who your 
    friend 
    are." 

    I got a cold 
    mind 
    to go

    thin 
    line 

    ain't makin' 
    straight 
    time 

    Verse 3
    Eight years 
    in, 

    it feels 
    like 
    you're 
    gonna 
    die 

    But you get 
    used 
    to 
    anything 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later

    Kitchen 
    floor 
    in 
    the evening, 

    tossin' 
    my 
    little 
    babies 
    high 

    Mary's 
    smilin', 

    but she 
    watches 
    me out 
    of 
    the 
    corner 
    of 
    her eye 

    Seems 
    you can't 
    get 
    any 
    more 
    than half 
    free 

    step out 
    onto the 
    front 
    porch, 

    and 
    suck the 
    cold 
    air deep 
    in
    side of me 

    Got a cold 
    mind 
    to go 
    tripping 

    cross 
    that 
    thin 
    line 

    I'm 
    sick 
    of doin' 
    straight 

    Verse 5
    time 


    In the basement, 

    huntin' 
    gun 
    and 
    hacksaw 

    Sip 
    a beer, 
    and thir
    teen 
    inches 

    of barrel 
    drop 
    to the 
    floor 

    Verse 6
    Come home 
    in the 
    evening, 

    can't 
    get the smell 
    from my 
    hands 

    Lay my 
    head down 
    on the 
    pillow 

    And, 
    go 
    driftin' 
    off 
    into 
    for
    eign 
    lands

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
