Too Lazy To Work too Nervous To Steal

• A

       A 
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight in a cheap motel on the Missouri side  
          E 
I had you out in my car in the parking lot 
A 
Early next morning we were driving east headed for the big city where I felt at least 
         E                                      A 
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn?t talk  
G 
Well I spoiled it my speaking my swirling head  
         E 
And your grown up eyes turned to me and said  
              D 
There?s only one thing you got wrong with you  
   F#m 
It ain?t the whole world looking at you  
E 
Why don?t you find yourself a life that?s real  
                                 A  
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal  
Well we got to the city and you got a job delivering the LL Bean Catalog  
I was bored and restless, didn?t know where to go  
Now late one evening after I got up, my guitar and I found my way to a club  
I saw that queen of diamonds work that big dance floor  
Well she looked at me but I couldn?t go  
That familiar face said do you wanna know  
 
Chorus 
   
Bridge: 
B                                           A 
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide 
F#m                                           E 
No one?s got respect for a man going over the side  
   
Well you went back to the station to make sure I was gone, 
That bus was on time you didn?t have to wait long  
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me  
Well that greyhound was cool after the summer heat, 
I could still see your face from my window seat  
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief   
But after miles and miles of that highway?s drone  
I  hear the last thing you said when we were all alone  
 
Chorus
