[C]I've had fame and fortune,
Women come knock on my [F]door.
I've [G]lived to the limit,
And maybe a little bit [C]more.

There are so many stories,
Of how I got out of con[F]trol.
Some [G]say it's a women,
Some say it's my troubled [C]soul.

I'm like a [F]crazy old soldier,
Fightin a war on my [C]own.
Just [G]me and the whiskey,
And the bottles are ten-thousand [C]strong.
[F]You'd think I'd give up,
As many times as I've been [C]hit.
But like a [G]crazy old soldier,
I just don't know when to [C]quit.

[C]Barrooms and bedrooms,
are just faces and places and [F]names.
[G]One's for the pleasure,
And lord knows what's for the [C]pain.

I've tried to forget her,
And all of the things that we've [F]done.
But as [G]long as there's memories,
I'll never hang up my [C]gun.

[SING CHORUS]
Like a [G]crazy old soldier,
I just don't know when to [C]quit.
