F#
Well, my baby, she don't want me around
She said she's tired of watchin' me fall down
She wants the good life, only the best
But I like that bottle better than the rest

Chorus:
F#
And she said:
I think that you're
headed for a whole lot of trouble
Well, I think that
you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
Well, I think that
you're headed for a whole lot of trouble
If you take your whiskey...

Well, that liquor in
the nighttime leaves strange memories
Seems a lifetime since yesterday
Come the daybreak, come the morrow
That woman's waited up all night for me again

Chorus:
She said:
         G#
Well, I think that you're
headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, I think that you're
headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, you know that you're
headed for a lot of trouble
If you take your whiskey home

F#
Some goes to women, some goes to Jesus
Though I'm absolutely certain both's all right
But it takes me at least halfway to the label
'fore I can even make it through the night

Chorus:
         G#
Well, I think that you're
headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, I think that you're
headed for a whole lot of trouble
Yeah, you know that you're
headed for a lot of trouble
If you take your whiskey home
