• Verse 1

IT'S GETTING SO (THAT A MAN CAN'T GO INTO TOWN JUST TO HAVE HIM A DRINK)
As recorded by Colter Wall
(From the 2025 Album MEMORIES AND EMPTIES)


Verse 1
      D
Well, I can might get high on a Saturday night
                              A7
And decide to drag my hide to town
A7
I find me a cue, lose a quick game of pool
                          D
To whoever just might be around
D
And after I'm done, and the evening's funds
                                         G
Have been all but knocked back and drunk down
                            D            B7
I call my ex-wife, tell her how great my life is
    E7              A7           D
And could she drive me home from town?


Chorus
    A7                     D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink
           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer
     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think


Instrumental Break
D     A7    D


Verse 2
D
Well, I could stay home, do my drinking alone
                              A7
I suppose it'd be better that way
A7
My bar-room companions would be understanding and
                      D
Probably glad for the change
D
But to tell you the truth, I'm too long in the tooth
                     D7       G
To start changing my old evil ways
                      G#dim           D                B7
So before your next rebuke, there's a shot I'd like to shoot
              E7            A7          D
And you might too if you're planning to stay


Chorus
    A7                     D
And it's gettin' so that a man can't go
     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink
           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer
     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think


Instrumentall Break
D     A7     D
G    D B7 E7 A7 D


Out-Chorus
      A7                     D
Well, it's gettin' so that a man can't go
     E7                      A7
Into town just to have him a drink
           A
Get by the cops and the mule deer
     D                  B7         E7         A7            D
And, of course, there's you, dear, telling me just what you think
B7      E7         A7            D
Keep on telling me just what you think
