C          F          C
Life's not where you leave it
C          F       C
Love's not gettin' sane
C         F     C
If I told you I need it
F           G            C
I could be lyin' all the same

[Verse]
C                                    F           C
I'm 200 miles from Georgia, on that Mississippi line
C                  F               G
It's the 2:15 to Livingston, so I got myself some time
C                         F            C
From the hill across the rails, to as far as I can see
F                                             G
The only friends I got 'round here are the two boots on my feet
The ol' boots on my feet

[Chorus]
C          F          C
Life's not where you leave it
C          F       C
Love's not gettin' sane
C         F     C
If I told you I need it
F           G            C
I could be lyin' all the same

[Verse]
C                               F
As if these tracks were bright eternity
C
And my life lay stretched behind
C                          F              G
I'll join those kings and senators in an ancient twistin' line
C                     F                    C
If you sit yourself upon the throne, as if on my dyin' day
F                                      G
Before you part your lips to speak, I got somethin' to say
I got one thing to say

[Chorus]
C          F          C
Life's not where you leave it
C          F       C
Love's not gettin' sane
C         F     C
If I told you I need it
F           G            C
I could be lyin' all the same
