C               D                G 
Well I almost bummed a ride from Kansas City 
         C                                  G         D  
Would've had me home 2 months ago, time for easter anyway 
        C          D                  G         Em 
It took 16 days to thumb back east to Nashville 
       C                                 D       C      G  
I just got outside of our town with that trucker yesterday 
      C                 D                     G  
And I guess I hoped she might still be here a-waitin' 
           C                        G             D 
And I know you and all the boys got money in your hands 
        C           D                  G       Em 
And I'm sorry and I thought that I was stayin' 
      C                              D         C    G  
But I know she's got her reasons but she don't understand

   C                D               G 
So tell the cops to head on back to town 
         C               D            G 
And make all them pretty women settle down  
           C                  D                  G          G/F#   Em  
And if our shoulder drinkin', backwards thinkin' don't just cut it here 
      C                             D 
Buddy when you won't meet me on St. Patricks Day next year 
        C                     G 
I'll be 1500 miles before I'm gone 
         C                              G  
And I'll still be wishin' I'd be stayin on 
      C                  D            G       G/F#    Em 
But I called her up just like I did a hundred times before 
        C              D       C        G 
And she told me almost doesn't count no more

Even though she told me almost doesn't count no more
