INTRO: C G C
That [C]wife of mine, the suspicious kind, she says that I'm quite a [G]flirter
But I've been a good boy all of the time and I wouldn't do nothin' to [C]hurt her
She'll [C]tan my hide for spendin' the night with Betty Lou or [F]Alice
But I'm [G]sleepin' alone in this wreck I own, I'm broke down south of [C]Dallas[G][C]
When I stumble home at the break of dawn she better not be suspicious
'Cause I'm about at the end of my rope and she better not act too viscious
I'm a-covered with grease from my head to my feet, my hands are cut and calloused
I spent all my bucks on a broke down truck, I'm broke down south of Dallas
SOLO
I'm a happy guy when the miles go by, there ain't too much that I'm missin'
But I got a wife with a fryin' pan and when she talks I listen
I'm the king of the road she's the queen of the house and it may not be a palace
But it sure beats a load by the side of the road, broke down south of Dallas
Yeah it [G]sure beats a load by the side of the road, broke down south of [C]Dallas [G][C]
