Capo 3
[C]Livin beyond my means, dont know [F]how Im gonna get by
[C]Livin beyond my means, dont ya [G]know a mans got to try
[C]Dont know how it started, all I [F]know is its got to end
Got a [C]noose around my [G]neck and I dont know [C]why
I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans
Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin
Dont know where you lead me all I know is Ive got to go
Gotta find you baby, before Im too old
Chorus:
[G]Livin beyond my [F]means
[F]With all these loving you [C]things
[G]Dont know how Ill get [F]by
[F]Lord help me [C]try
Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart
I didnt put up a fight, baby just to find me one more start
Now its taken me out of my home and put me out on the street
This loving you thing has got me beat
Chorus
I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be
On my way back to Texas, I took a long look down in Tennessee
This wild turkey chase, well, its got the best of me
I guess its best to quit when youre behind
Chorus
