WALKING COUNTRY SONG (Gabe Zander/BMI, Tom Whalen/NA) 2001

(moderate honky tonk beat)

        C                   F                  C
Well, I lost my girl when I told her I lost my job.
           C                      F              C
I was just tryin' to do right and somehow, I got robbed.
      C                                        F
Now I toss and turn at night, tryin' to sleep alone;
              C              G              C
I'd gotten so used to havin' her to call my own.
      C               F                        C
Now I try to clear my mind in the smoke-filled bars,
           C                   F               C
But by the time I stumble back out beneath the stars,
    C                                            F
I'm back where I started, and wherever you might be,
    C                      G                    C
I'm beatin' myself, hoping you're still missin' me.


(chorus):
        F             G               C
Now I'm nothing but a walking country song.
   C                                      G
My head is spinning and everything's gone wrong.
          Am                       F                         C                   F
I've been drinkin' all night to forget everyday, but still I can't seem to move along,
             C             G               C
Now that I'm nothing but a walking country song.

(break)

If she's the devil in disguise, I don't care; I still want her here,
To hear her sweet lies whispered in my ear.
And whatever it is, I can somehow make it rhyme,
'Cause if I ain't got much, at least there's space and time.
So I might just pack my life up in my truck,
And ramble until my time on Earth is up.
So just roll your eyes if that puts me lower than you,
'Cause now, it seems there ain't much I have left to do.

(chorus)
