Verse 
E 
Well I heard Jimmy Rogers sing 
      A                        E 
On my daddy's old record machine 
E 
Something bout a when you got love 
                    B 
All you got is love to lose 
       E 
And if I learned one thing about hank 
        A                       E 
Is that him and his kid like to drink 
E                    B                E 
Living whiskey bent, feeling lovesick blues 

Straight to hell 
      A 
I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking 
                     E 
Love em and leave em kind 

       A 
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it 
                       B 
I'm loosing it with my mind 
E 
Anything I pick up from one of them songs 
     A                    E 
Just a new way not to get burnt 
   E 
But it's the same old bottle 
B 
Same old blues 
                        E 
The same hard lesson to learn 


Verse 
       E 
Well I heard that old George Jones 
A                            E 
Bottomed out from all the no shows 
         E                                B7 
Girl I'm watching my heroes run away like hall up pow 
      E 
And a little like a rolling stone 
  A                            E 
I ain't worth it if I gotta be alone 
    E               B                      E 
I'm a lost highway, the devil collects the tolls 
    A 
I'm a whiskey drinking, new low sinking 
                 E 
Love and leaving kind 

       A 
And if it's worth keeping, you better believe it 
                       B 
I'm loosing it with my mind 
E7 
Anything I pick up from one of men song 
A                         E 
Just a new way not to get burnt 
             E7 
But it's the same old bottle 
B 
Same old blues 
   B7                   E 
The same hard lesson to learn

E 
Anything I pick up from one of men song 
A                         E 
Just a new way not to get burnt 
             E7 
But it's the same old bottle 
B 
Same old blues 
    E 
The same hard lesson to learn 
         E 
It's the same old bottle 
B 
Same old blues 
    E 
The same hard lesson to learn
