White House Road Chords

White House Road - Tyler Childers

Drop-D, Capo 5
 
[Verse]
D
Early in the morning when the sun does rise
C                      G
Layin’ in the bed with bloodshot eyes
D
Late in the evening when the sun sinks low
C                        G
That’s about the time my rooster crows
 
[Verse]
D
I got women up and down this creek
    C                         G
And they keep me going and my engine clean
D
Run me ragged but I don’t fret
      C                            G
Cause there ain’t been one slow me down none yet
 
[Chorus]
D
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
C                      G
Get me higher than the grocery bill
D
Take my troubles to the high wall
C                          G
Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
D
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
C                             G
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
D
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      C                    G
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
 
[Verse]
  D
I got people try to tell me Red
C                           G
Keep this livin’ and you’ll wind up dead
D
Cast your troubles on the lord of lords
C                   G
Wind up layin’ on a coolin’ board
 
[Verse]
    D
But I got buddies up at White House Road
         C                         G
And they keep me struttin’ when my feet hang low
D
Rot gut whiskey gonna ease my pain
    C                       G
And all this runnin’s gonna keep me sane
 
[Chorus]
D
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
C                      G
Get me higher than the grocery bill
D
Take my troubles to the high wall
C                          G
Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
D
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
C                             G
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
D
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      C                    G
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
       C                    G
It’s a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
 
[Verse]
D
When you lay me in the cold hard clay
          C                         G
Won’t you sing them hymns while the banjo plays
D
Tell them ladies that they ought not frown
            C                       G           D
Cause there ain’t been nothing ever held me down
 
[Bridge]
G
Lawman, women, or a shallow grave
G
Same old blues, just a different day
 
[Chorus]
D
Get me drinkin’ that moonshine
C                      G
Get me higher than the grocery bill
D
Take my troubles to the high wall
C                          G
Throw ‘em in the river and get your fill
D
We been sniffin’ that cocaine
C                             G
Ain’t nothin’ better when the wind cuts cold
D
Lord it’s a mighty hard living
      C                    G              D
But a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
 
[Outro]
       C                    G              D
It’s a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
       C                    G              D
It’s a damn good feelin’ to run these roads
