Verse 1
C
G
This one I'm going to dedicate
Am
to one of the best friends I've ever had,
Am
G
She was my manager in these days,
Am
and she made this happen.
And there was a few things
you could do
C
if you had a record deal,
and that was this. You could,
the first thing I did
G
when I got a record contract
C
was if you have a record contract,
Am
you can call anybody's publisher
G
C
and get their songs that
they haven't put out yet.
G
If you just act like you're going
to sing them.
C
G
So, got Billy Joe Shaver,
Chris Christopherson,
C
G
John Prine,
C
anybody that had outtakes,
I had access to them.
F
G
And then also, if I wanted to,
C
I could rent studios and stuff.
G
C
so, Willie Nelson,
I don't know if you know,
he bought a golf course,
you know this deal?
And he made the pro shop into his own studio,
Am
and the cabanas all around,
C
I mean, it's like a full hippie fort,
and he golfs.
Em
He makes it, he makes it stoner,
G
C
you know, and I wanted to see this
Am
so Lindsey hooked it up
G
so that I could rent his studio
F
Am
and Mike Utley flew in to Austin.
G
C
I think we took a break on the road. I Think
G
maybe Will or Joe came with me
and I know Kent Finley and his
son came with me
Am
And I think I used Kent's guitar
a really nice.
C
I think it might have been
F
G
that one and
C
And this is one of the few songs we did.
And then, you know, this one
I still, you know, I like it,
G
it's like a nice thing to think
You know?
Em
Let me make sure this is right.
I don't know what made
Am
me want to sing all this.
Probably nothing, you know?
G
Em
G
C
I probably like the chords, but yeah,
G
C

so there's crime, you know. No.
C
More tough news on late night TV,
Csus2

Man gets his car jacked,
graveyard gets ransacked
Everybody knows that there
ain't no place to hide
F
Am
Let night drive by,
Em
there's blood on the sidewalk
Am
That stupid kid, he should've known
Em

Hot car rollin' down the empty highway,
keys were in it, man,

They say this young girl's attacked
in the woods off the parkway
She should've known not

I keep my doors locked

with bars on my window
My kids inside

Am
F
G
C
Well, you know,
I like that pretty good,
just sitting there singing it now.
C
I thought that wasn't as, yeah, okay.
And I'll tell you something else.
In my day, when I was young,
there was a show called Free, remember,
Love American Style.
That's why I think I said that.
And that's why I think I called it TV Guide,
maybe, but I don't know.
Em
It wasn't as preachy as I remember.
And I should also say, God,
I hope I'm not putting
down some song you love.
I'm just telling the truth
about these songs.
They go in and out of fashion with me.
I like some better than others.
The people say they're like your kids,
it's just not that.
I don't have kids. I'll tell you something else,
though. So that song, when I lived in Memphis,
I have a song later that I would sing
called Highland Street
Incident, it was inspired,
both of those songs were,
that was my first attempt
at that song about Highland,
you know? I got hit with a gun right in the face
and it really shook me up and I never,
I could honestly say that's like I never
felt like the same person after that.
This, uh...
