Capo 1 
 
 
A 
Ever since that night you walked out, I just ain't been the same ol' me 
     E                                                         A 
I've barely had the strength to leave the couch to turn on my TV 
      A 
But a man can't hide away forever and last night I finally told me so 
  E                                                 A 
I knew I had to get out but I knew I had to take it slow 
 
 
Chorus: 
     D 
So I burned down this town a honky tonk at a time 
      A 
I got loud and checked out every cute little cowgirl  
        D                                 A                D 
I could hold, getting over you is still a long ways away I swear 
     A                        E                   A 
Last night was one small step but you gotta start somewhere 
 
 
Think I feel a little better, a little more like the man I used to be 
I ain't saying that I'm there yet but I can see some possibilities 
When your motor ain't been fired up lately you can't just jam it in gear and go 
I know I'm still not up to speed but last night I had to test the road
