FLAMED OUT AND FALLIN SOUTH

TRYIN TO LAY AN OLD GHOST DOWN
C F C
BUT OLD LOVERS, GIRL, HAUNT THE HIGHWAY WHERE YOU'RE BOUND
C Em F Am G
OUT THERE THE TEARS HIT HARD ENOUGH TO TURN A RED ROSE WHISKEY BROWN
BABE IT'S INDIAN COUNTRY IN THE SHADOWS OF A HONKY TONK
AMBUSH YOUR ONE LAST CHANCE
ONE MAN COULD SATISFY YOUR WANT
AND IT'S A MARLBORO LIGHT AND HALF A CASE OF PEARL
WHEN YOU FIND THAT THE REDNECKS AREN'T GOOD MULES
FOR CARRYIN THE GUILT OF A CATHOLIC GIRL
F
MIDNIGHT LOVES THE LONESOME
C Em
COME ON, LAY ONE MORE ROUNDER DOWN
F G Am
ANOTHER LIGHT GOES OUT IN A MOTEL SOUTH OF TOWN
F G C
SUCH A LONESOME SOUND WHEN AN ANGEL HITS THE GROUND
SOMETIMES YOU GET TO SLIDING AND IT SURE GETS HARD TO STOP
TILL YOU SLIDE ON DOWN IN THE BACKSEAT
YOU'RE THE BRAND NEW QUEEN OF THE PARKING LOT
HAVE ANOTHER MARLBORO LIGHT, BABE, ONE MORE ROUND OF PEARL
WHEN YOU FIND IT SURE IS A LONG WAY HOME
CARRYING THE GUILT OF A CATHOLIC GIRL
MIDNIGHT FOOLS THE LONESOME
INTO PICKIN UP THEM DIAMONDS OFF THE GROUND
ANOTHER LIGHT GOES OUT IN THE MOTEL SOUTH OF TOWN
COME MORNING GIRL, IT'S ALWAYS BROKEN GLASS THAT YOU FOUND
