Blew my last twenty dollars on a Oiler's football game

All this stuff that's goin' down's really got me down this time
[Refrão] D Bb C D
I've been down but not this far before
D Bb G A
I been kicked around but never out the door
D Bb A D
I been down but not like this before
Well the preacher man talking on TV
He's beggin' for my only dime
I'd take another shot of whiskey
If I thought it'd get him off my mind
Chorus
I had to find a way to get some money
Never thought I'd go this far but it'd mean livin' out on the street
So I robbed a liquor store with my daddy's army gun
Had to shoot a cop comin' out the door and now, god, I'm on the run
Chorus
