  3m 4 5 1 *
 It's harder to try a-gain than it was to be-gin
  5 * 4 1
 A man can play a lone hand in a high stakes game, but it doesn't mean he's gonna win
  3m 4 1 *
 And somehow I've got to keep from getting further down
  5 * 2m 1 (*)
 Before I buy myself a bottle of cheap escape, and a ticket to anoth-er town
  6m 4 1 *
 I know I'm not crying 'cause I think I've had it mighty tough
  5 * 2m 4
 I did my best with all the rest, but it just wasn't good e-nough
  6m 4 1 *
 And I've been working and training too long just to make it here
  5 * 4 1
 To merely swallow my pride and walk outside and come back anoth-er year
 REPEAT CHORUS THEN:
  5 * 2m 4 (1)
 I want to drown in the grape and make my escape, on a ticket to anoth-er town
