Victim of Life's Circumstances
By Vince Gill
It's [G]6:05 A[C]M on Sunday [G]morning
[G]I was supposed to left for [C]Memphis late last [G]night
[G]But I stopped at [C]one of those highway [G]places
[G]Cause I did I'm [C]sleepin' in Tarrant [D]County jail [G]tonight
Well I started tonight with good intentions
But I ended up getting sideways drink'n wine
Well the last thing I remembered we was rollin'
Till something hit my head and knocked me From my conscious mind
Chorus:
And I'm a [D]victim of life's circum[G]stances
Well I was [A7]raised around bar rooms and Friday night [D]dances
[C]Singing them old country [G]songs
And [G]half the time [C]endin' up some p[D]lace I don't belo[G]ng
I said jailer, hey what you'll got me charged with
He looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well he said to me, you say you don't remember
Cuttin' up some fool with that long handle knife
Chorus
