I made this tab to help myself learn this song, and since I am a beginner this song is probably off. I read

the chords from a live video of Riley playing. Feel free to correct this tab or add to it.

Intro

Verse

Slipped out of town without a h

andshake or goodbye j

ust this old guitar I had stars in my eyes

I was playing bars I was meeting girls I wasn't l

ivin right but I was staying high every n

ight

underneath the glow of the neon lights

one morning I woke up with bott

les as far as I could see w

hen I closed my eyes and I drifted

N.C.

back to sleep I saw

Chorus

the way momma l

ooked at me

even though I know I had to be

hell to raise

man I raised some hell

heard daddy

say son 'get your l

azy ass up' t

here aint no sense

in sleeping a

ll day

I thought a

bout my folks back home a

nd how they cared about me so

ade me wanna set this bo

ttle down...

Almost

Interlude

Verse

Through the haze of a smokey old

saloon saw a girl cutting me a grin from

across the room

and I swear she had wings

she loved to hear me play g

uitar and I loved to watch her dance

and

I loved to hear her sing

one night she layed down the l

aw told me that I had to make a choice

when I closed my eyes and I listened to her voice I saw

Chorus

The firs

t time we held ha

nds

I saw the first time that we da

nced

I saw that o

ne night on the cr

eek

and that night you

snuck out

of your dorm and met me d

own on Mountain Street

I thought about that s

ummer we spent d

own on the coast

made me wanna set this bo

ttle down... Almost

Interlude

Verse

One last time I found my

self down and out

I was just outside of Birmingham in some no-name town

I couldnt recall the night before when I dr

ank myself to sleep

so I threw on this old ball cap and stumbled out into the street

too many nights the same ol' same I g

ot lost in this damn crowd

but w

hen I packed up my guitar case I took one last look around and I saw...

Chorus

That old bar

whe

re I kept my first truck

and I walked my bird d

og Bo past the pond w

here we killed our first duck

I saw grandp

a's garden and I could still s

ee them pretty vines

though its been some t

ime since I've held

a muscadine

I thought about

how grandma's house still sm

ells the same

even though its

been a few years

now s

ince I've seen her face

.....s

o I raised my glass up for o

ne last toast

.....

and finally set this bo

ttle down... Almost
