By    eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

So I  started writing songs, I started writing stories
A#        A#   C2D2  C2  C2A#  A# A#C2      D2     F2 C2   A#
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me

'Cause only those I really love will ever  really know me

I got my boys with me, at least those in  favor
