[INTRO: ]A
A E
I was cuttin' a rug down the club Juanita
A
With a pretty little thing that couldn't have been any sweeter
D
When in walked a man she explained was up to his old tricks
A E A
I'm just danged sure tired of gettin' my butt kicked
So the police came and somehow the whole thing became my fault
Well they took me downtown and deposited me in a steel vault
And a jailor sat there playin' this song on his armpit
I'm just dang sure tired of gettin' my butt kicked
BRIDGE:
D
Well my boss and my lawyer and the IRS
A
All ganged up to make one big mess
D
It's a government conspiracy to ruin my life
E E7
And did I forget to mention my ex-wife
Well my car broke down the mechanic just sat there smilin'
I could see he was plannin' just a little trip down to the islands
He took all my dough and didn't even get my old car fixed
I'm just danged sure tired of gettin' my butt kicked
SOLO: A E D A E A
BRIDGE
You know when I die I know I'm gonna fly to glory
And I'll stand up tall and tell St. Peter my story
But with my bad luck the Lord won't be lettin' me know His
I'm just danged sure tired of gettin' my butt kicked

Yeah I'm sick and tired fed-up with gettin' my butt kicked
