D         C       G
Where did all my friends go
D             C      G
What happened to my scene
D              C       G
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
D      C        G
Up and left the king
              D         C      G
And I've been swimmin' for redemption
        D            C       G
But I'm drownin' in beaurocracy
    D        C       G
And I can't find exemption
     D           C    G
From all this mediocrity, and

[Chorus]
     D           G            C                G
The whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
   D               Em               C              D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
          D       C         G             D         C      Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and it's gonna be hell to pay
   D       C       G       D               C     G      D C  G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade awayyy-ayyyy-yeah
  D         C          G
I swear I'm gonna fade away

            D   C  G
Gonna fade awayyyy-yeah-yeah
  D               C    G
I swear I'm gonna fade away, oh now I

D        C       G
I don't mean to b***h and judge
    D    C       G
But baby I gotta go
           D     C          G
Where they still play Merle Haggard
        D             C           G
And the girls love to rock 'n roll
            D       C      G
And I been lookin' for perspective
D            C       G
Between the highway signs
    D         C        G
But all roads lead to Texas
      D       C      G
Ya'll look me up sometime, 'cause

[Chorus]
    D           G             C                G
The whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
   D               Em               C              D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
          D       C         G                D         C      Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
   D       C      G         C              C     G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
            D  C   G
Gone fade away-ayy-yeah
  D               C     G
I swear I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus]
          D          G             C                G
Yeah the whiskey and women in this town are killin' me
   D               Em               C              D
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
          D       C        G              D        C       Em
I've been runnin' with the devil and it's gonna be hell to pay
   D       C      G        D                C    G
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
