Now I know a man, he never says a word
But he strums his old Gibson and sings like a bird
The dreams in his head, they’re almost gone
The times keep changin' as the years wear on
/ G - C - / D - G - / G GF C - / D - G - /
{Refrain}
And it don't take much to wag my tail
Give me hard-boiled eggs, a little beer in a pail
You've got to work pretty hard to drive me away
But one kind word, and I will stay
/ C - G - / D - G - / FC C G - / D - G - /
So I ride in my car, travel all around
Get up on the stage here in your town
I used to chase all the women, and I guess I still do
But love is best when it's tender and true
{Refrain}
Now I'm up all night and I sleep all day
People ask me how I live that way
Well I don't call it livin', I call it just gettin' by
If I had the ambition, I'd be a hell of a guy
{As refrain}
And I'm about half-crazy, at the end of my chain
Nobody knows how I stand the strain
If you treat me hard, I might turn mean
I'm at my best when the times get lean
{Refrain}
