I left the band back in L.A

Well, me and my baby got into another fight
A F#m
I know the drill but it feels like the last time
D E
She called me up to tell me I was alone
A F#m
I slept it off by the side of the road and
[Chorus]

I should have known better
E
I should have stayed away
A F#m
She bought me beer and she knew my name and

We park under the bridge and we take our time

On a day off got nowhere to be
F#m D E
Got nobody looking for me
D E
Well, me and the lord are getting into a fight
A F#m
I hate the road and I swear it's the last time

He said, "My son, will you just hang on?
A F#m
I only give you everything you want" and

Now there's a girl back in Tennessee
A F#m
Says she's got a baby and it looks like me
D E
So I'm going back up the mountain
A F#m
Gonna send my money to my family, yeah
D E
Some days I think it's all gonna turn out right
A F#m
Some days I drink 'til I'm barely alive and
D E
These days, my dreams, they're all but gone
A F#m
The road is dark, put the headlights on and
[Chorus]
D
I should have known better

I should have stayed away
A F#m
She bought me beer and she knew my name and
D E
She sang along to every song
