Well I'm hell (I'm hell) on wheels and women and horses

If I'm a low low life I'm living high on the hog

C D
Check out my ice chest chillin' down my home brewed grog
G D
Well I was born in a feedlot, raised in a strip mall
G C G
Cut my teeth on a mason jar I was kickin beer cans before I could crawl
C D
On my first run around the sun I was shootin straight and I was walkin tall
G D
So when I finally burn down from a torch to a spark
G C
I finally snuff out and my lights go dark
G C D D7
And I find I'm resigned to admit that my bite ain't as bad as my bark, no more
C7
Won't you bury my heart at the trailer park?
Well I know (I know) how to set this rambler's heart to heal
I'll turn the spice channel on in the fifth wheel
And crack a fresh screw top bottle of wine and I'll be feelin no pain in no time
Well I was born in a feedlot, raised in a strip mall
Cut my teeth on a mason jar I was kickin beer cans before I could crawl
On my first run around the sun I was shootin straight and I was walkin tall
I learned to hate from a strip mine, love from a strip bar
Honesty and charity I stole 'em from a tip jar
The lust for the dust, and the grease and grit and mud is runnin' in my blood
So when I finally burn down and the lights go dark
I finally snuff out from a torch to a spark
And I find I'm resigned to admit that my bite ain't as bad as my bark, no more
Well mama bury my heart at the trailer park
