Am
I'm feeling kind of banged up
G
Slow out of the bed
Am C G
Neon noise and honky-tonk wine ringing in my head
Am
Last night I saw your car
G
I overheard your name
Am C G
Pulled my hat down low, wouldn't want you to know I was in this shape
[Refrão]
C
Now these old beer bones
Are like a rusty old plow
G
These cigarette eyes are
'Bout to burn out
Am C
But they're still doing better
G
Better than my heart
C
These whiskey worn lips can't muster up a smile
G
The soles on my boots have walked their last mile
Am C
But they're still doing better
G
Better than my heart
Am
You filled it with your love
G
Then you drained it out
Am C
Sometimes I think you built it up
G
Just to break it down
Am
Now all that's really left
G
Is an emptiness inside
Am C
A river running cold, memories growing old
G
Dying right there on the vine
[Refrão]

The soles on my boots have walked their last mile
