[VERSE 1]
[D]South bound out of Shreveport heading [G]hell bent for his grave
[A]he reads a sign on the barn door [G]that says the good lord Jesus saves [D]
[D]But I don't think Jesus knows him cause he [G]ain't the Jesus kind
[A]He's a laid back country picker [G]with a laid back country mind [D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]He gave the folks a good show at the [G]shreveport coliseum
[A]They all heard he's dying, [G]so they all come out to see [D]
[D]Friends and neighbors make him happy, lord them [G]snuff queens treat him kind
[A]He's a laid back country picker [G]with a laid back country mind [D]

[CHORUS]
[G]Uppers, downers, turn arounders [D]picked him up and laid him down
[E]his old troubles keep on swimming [A]cause their to damn mean to drown
[D]He keeps looking for an answer [G]I know he's never gonna find
[A]He's a laid back country picker [G]with a laid back country mind [D]

[D]Big Bertha back in Beaumont, says he [G]really turns her on
[A]she hits the floor a dancing, when the [G]DJ plays his song [D]
[D]You can see somebody loves him, or at [G]least they did one time
[A]He's a laid back country picker, [G]with a laid back country mind [D]
