So won't you let me live another day 
E
Guess I'd like to live another day

Same as Verses 1 and 2

Ole Fletcher's been drinkin' with a pistol and is itchin' to play 
Sayin' "'Man, I had this woman, she was livin' at the mouth of the bay,
But she found me out and now she sees a man who wears a suit
I seen him walkin' his dog down by the company in brand new boots, yeah,


Chorus: 

So dont ya  let ole Fletcher take the wheel tonight 
His heart's grown cold
And this old dirt road runs rough and ragged to a terrible height 
So dont ya let ole Fletcher take the wheel tonight

Lovin', oh Lord, can make me change my ways 
So won't you let me live another day 
Guess I'd like to live another day
