A waste of good whiskey


Em                                           A                    Em
why i'm feelin blue is just the lack of some whiskey
     A                               G              Em    G  Em
to drink and drive you out of my mind

Em                                       A                      Em
Cryin over you would be a waste of good whiskey
                   A               G                Em    G  Em
and there's so little to spare at this time


Em                                            A                   Em
lying like you do is just more proof of my stupidity
        A                 G                            Em    G  Em
no wonder that i hang my head and cry

Em                                    A             Em
dyin over you would be a lost opportunity
    A                               G                           Em         G  Em
to see my way through all these troubling times

Whenever you are feelin blue
G                 C                               G           C
what do you do to make yourself happy?
G                   C                         G         C
When you don't know what to do
G                  C                                G              C      D
What do you think might make it happen?

                               (G C D)
you've been walking it alone
                                G        C
you need walk it no more

All my life - pointed the finger
All my life it's been the same lie
All my life it's been repeated
First you go crazy then you die

It's a long long road
from misery to happiness
you've been walking it alone
well you're alone no more

Every country song is the same



Every country song is the same
at its heart
at its heart

Every country boy has a name
in his heart
in his heart

and it doesn't really matter what country you're from
the ways of the countryside go on and on
the way of the country is deep in your blood
it's the way of the drought and the way
of the flood

Every country town is the same
at its heart
at its heart

Every country girl has a flame
in her heart
in her heart

and it doesn't really matter what country you're from
the ways of the countryside go on and on
the way of the country is deep in your blood
it's the way of the drought and the way
of the flood

I Don't Care

what do you do when you go outside
see your cattle dying by the riverside
where the water went
well you don't know
all you can say is it don't flow

and they're all so spontaneous
it's so ridiculous
unless it's miraculous

i don't care

when the one you love has gone away
and it doesn't matter what you say
why she went
well you don't know
you were so sure she loved you so

and they're all so spontaneous
it's so ridiculous
unless it's miraculous

i don't care

scrimp and save to get ahead
you should have been a thief instead
why the prices rise
well you don't know
and the rich just watch their power grow

and they're all so spontaneous
it's so ridiculous
unless it's miraculous

i don't care
