Another Way Out Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Chris Minton

[CHORUS]
[G]You may ask me w[C]hy I gamble so [G]
[G]And I’ll ask you why I w[F#]as born without [Em]a row to hoe [D]
[G]Daddy has some a[C]cres, a few cows[G] , and a house
[G]That’s not the l[D]ife I want to le[G]ad so I found another way out

[G]A man can’t help[C] what’s running [G]through his veins
[G]So I skipped town at an [F#]early age, went [Em]to Newport on a [D]train
[G]Fell in with a b[C]ad crowd playing[G] cards in some backstreet bar
[G]One-eyed jacks look good but one[D] eye won’t let y[G]ou see too far

[C]The all-night card games soon made me a stranger[G] to the sun
[C]When you owe the wrong men money, it’s n[Am]atural to run [D]
[G]With the newfoun[C]d sunlight at my[G] back I set out in the wind
[G]And headed west [F#]to River City to[D] try it all agai[G]n

[CHORUS]
[G]You may ask me w[C]hy I gamble so [G]
[G]And I’ll ask you why I w[F#]as born without [Em]a row to hoe [D]
[G]Daddy has some a[C]cres, a few cows[G] , and a house
[G]That’s not the l[D]ife I want to le[G]ad so I found another way out

[G]You can’t be in [C]Louisville witho[G]ut making a Derby bet
[G]But I made all the wrong[F#] ones and soon e[Em]nded up in debt [D]
[G]That’s what happ[C]ens when you spe[G]nd a dollar trying to make a dime
[G]I watched my fut[D]ure ride away tw[G]o minutes at a time

[C]A wise man knows when it’s time [G]to fold and leave the game
[C]I’m probably not a wise man but I folded[Am] just the same [D]
[G]With nothing but[C] my wounded prid[G]e and a bottle of Wild Irish Rose
[G]I tucked my tail[F#] between my legs[D] and staggered b[G]ack to Jacksboro Rd

[CHORUS]
You may [C]ask me why I gam[G]ble so
[C]I was betting I’d escape from all these [Am]rows to hoe [D]
[G]Looks like it’s [C]me and daddy and[G] brother, these acres and these cows
[G]It’s not the lif[D]e I want to lead[G] , I’ve got to find another way out
[G]It’s not the lif[D]e I want to lead[G] , I’m gonna find another way out
