[Verse]

C
You're probably not in Texas
      F             C   C/B
But I hope that you are
          Am               G
With your mesh back cap on backwards
        F                C
In some backwood redneck bar
C
Betting on the baseball game
       F              C  C/B
Taking hold em way too far
           Am                    G
I guess it is what it is till it ain't no more
       F              C
Was it ever about the cards?


[Verse]

C
You're probably drinking Ribbons
          F             C   C/B
With your old Milwaukee blues
          Am            G
As you're singing Billy Gibbons
       F                  C
As you take off with the loot
C
I'm betting on an old banjo
      F           C  C/B
And a borrowed mandolin
              Am               G
Yeah I'd give everything that I ain't got yet
        F                    C
Just to hear those sounds again


[Chorus]
F            C            G              Am
Well chances are somebody sang this all before
F                  C              G                  C
It ain't about the whiskey or the girl at the liquor store
F                        C                 G              Am
When it's you out on the highway with your pocket full of songs
F                               C                G                   C
You gotta take what's left, you can the rest and write off all those wrongs


[Verse]
C
You're probably not in heaven
            F               C   C/B
Between the saviour and the thief
     Am              G
But you been rolling 7's
           F            C
With those aces up your sleeve
C
There ain't nothing like a guitar pull
     F             C    C/B
To lose your Joplin blues
       Am                      G
I just hope that girl tattooed on your arm
        F             C
She's standing next to you


[Bridge]
C
You're standing at the crossroads
         F             C   C/B
With the devil waiting there
         Am                    G
Don't he know you'll cheat the dealer
         F                C
Steal it back and call it fair?


[Chorus]
F            C            G              Am
Well chances are somebody sang this all before
F                  C              G                  C
It ain't about the whiskey or the girl at the liquor store
F                        C                 G              Am
When it's you out on the highway with your pocket full of songs
F                               C                G                   C
You gotta take what's left, you can the rest and write off all those wrongs


[Outro]
C
You're probably not in Texas
      F             C   C/B
But I hope that you are
          Am               G
With your mesh back cap on backwards
        F                C
In some backwood redneck bar
C
Betting on the baseball game
       F              C  C/B
Taking hold em way too far
           Am                    G
I guess it is what it is till it ain't no more
       F              C
Was it ever about the cards?
