Starts off in A with a shuffle riff  
A - A - C - C#   
When playing E also same patters E - E - G - G#  
   
(A)Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight  
In a cheap motel on the Missouri side  
I had you (E) out in my car in the parking lot  
(A) Early next morning we were driving east  
Headed for the big city where I felt at least  
We could (E) enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk (A)  
   
(G) Well I spoiled it my speaking my swirling head  
And your (E) grown up eyes turned to me and said  
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you  
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you  
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real  
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal  
   
(A) Well we got to the city and you got a job  
Delivering the LL Bean Catalog  
I was (E) bored and restless didn't know where to go  
(A) Now late one evening after I got up  
My guitar and I found my way into a club  
I saw that (E) queen of diamonds work that big dance floor  
   
(G) Well she looked at me but I couldn't go  
That (E) familiar face said do you wanna know  
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you  
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you  
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real  
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal  
   
Solo in A  
   
(B) You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide (A)  
(F#) No one's got respect for a man going over the side (E)  
   
(A) Well you went back to the station to make sure I wasgone  
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long  
I saw (E) the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me(A)  
(A) Well that greyhound was cool after the summer heat  
I could still your face from my window seat  
I was (E) so happy to see your crooked smile of relief (A)  
   
(G) But after miles and miles of that highway's drone  
I  hear the (E) lastthing you said when we were all alone  
There's only (D) one thing you got wrong with you  
You (F#) need the whole world looking at you  
(E) Why don't you find yourself a life that's real  
Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal  
(E) Too Lazy to work, Too nervous to (A) steal
