Em
I got lost about an hour ago
G
I sailed past that fork in the road
C
And now here I stand
G G/F#
A stranger in a foreign land
Em
An empty barn and a weather vane
G
A picket fence that's seen its day
C
Oh, I sit to stay
G G/F# E7
'Cause I don't got much to do today, hey

Em
I go down to the local store
G
I caught a glance from the local whore
C
That she threw my way
G G/F#
And I still got nothing to do today
Em
I carry on down the street
G
I'm looking for a place to eat
C
But my belly's so full
G G/F# E7
With all these things I'm hoping for, whores

Em
An old man in a pickup truck
G
He said, "Son, are you out of luck?"
C
And I nod my hard head
G G/F#
I say "My day is spent and my spirit's dead"
Em
He says, "Come on now, take a ride
G
You sit yourself in the passenger side
C
And I'll go your way
G G/F#
'Cause I don't got much to do today"
E7
Hey
