Well I got outa work and I headed for the neighborhood A beer joint

Well it was way af A ter dark so I knew my wife and kids were waitin' E A
And I guess I took a left where I gene A rally take a right D

I threw the car seat into the dumpster and headed A out into the night

Well there's something bout that little red A line always looked so final
Buddy y E ou'd be surprised how fast a Chevrolet truck can A go
Now in M E exico they got a little place called A Boy's Town
Where a E man is still a man if you know what I'm talkin' A about
Well I wa D lked into the Cadillac Bar and I laid my A cash down
I said The E re's plenty more where that came from. And the lights went o A ut

Well I w E oke up in the county jail across the line in L A aredo
I had a h E eadache and the deputy was a starin' at me through the A door
He said D how you got across that river alive I don't A know,
But you w E ife just made your bail so now your in her debt for A sure.
Now my w E ife she called my boss and she lied so I got my job A back
And the E boys down at the plant they whisper and stare at A me
Well my w D ife she finds a lot of little jobs to keep me on the r A ight track
That's a E small price to pay for a week of living d A angerously

That's a s E mall price to pay for a week of living d A angerously
