When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
G D C G C D
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Em D
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
Em D
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
C D
He talked about honor and things I should know
C D D7
Then he`d stagger a little as he went out the door
Rate this tab!

By the light of the radio by my bed

G D C G C D
And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed

When I was eighteen Lord I hit the road
C D D7
But it really doesn`t matter how far I go
