D                 A                D 
I just ain't been able to write no songs 
  G                              D 
I guess I have been gone for too long 
  G                    F                    D 
I hate to but I got to get back to getting' stoned 
    D                 A                D 
But I just ain't been able to write no songs 
 
I just ain't been able to sing no blues 
Lords knows I sure oughta know just how to 
Cause everybody's gone now, Lord, 'cept me and you 
But I just ain't been able to sing no blues 
 
I just ain't been able to keep no wife 
But you know I tried hard a couple of times 
They always said "Is it gonna be your music or me?" 
And I just ain't been able to agree 
 
I just ain't never made no superstar 
But I'll keep on playin' this white guitar 
I don't know how long or how far 
But I sure love to play these honky tonk bars 
 
I hate to but I got to get back to getting' stoned 
And I just ain't been able to write no songs
