Intro (verse is the same)
Its been a long hard night
Out on Highway 501
Trying to make the wrong things right
Saying oh my god what have I done
And I can barely see to drive
Suns gone down and Im going with it
With a bottle between my thighs
Im praying I see the city limits sign
Chorus (same chords and rhythm)
She says why do you do what you do
I can’t always come back to you
I don’t know why I do what I do
But I’ll always come back to you
Verse 2 (exact same rhythm and chords)
There’s one light on the road tonight
Its nice to know that somebody else is alive
When I get lonely in my mind
I think I need somebody all the time
But don’t judge me by past
I feel bad run away from that
And I can never make anything last
I feel bad
I feel bad
Chorus (same chords and rhythm again)
She says why do you do what you do
I can’t always come back to you
I don’t know why I do what I do
But I’ll always come back to you
Bridge (Finally something different)
It’s not alright when you’re not breathing
It’s not alright when I’m on your porch
Call it what you will but I call it leaving
One more step and I’m out your door
It just keeps repeating different versions of the Bridge using the exact same chords,
tempo speeds up a little bit, but that's about it. Pretty simple. I encourage your
and criticism. Thanks
