G C
Drinkin' all night in a tavern
C D G
My head is a mighty heavy load
G C
I feel like I've been run over
C D G
Like a poor little critter on the road
chorus:
G C
Poor little critter on the road,
D G
Where were you tryin' to go?
G C
Life's got a bucket full of woes for
D G
The poor little critter on the road, oh
D G (riff)
The poor little critter on the road
I must have had me a good time
Cause I'm feelin so poorly today
Somehow I can't quite remember,
That's one of the prices that you pay
(repeat chorus) (riff)
I can remember the drinkin'
And dancin on into the night
Somethin' about some romancin'
Then I started up a fight
variation of chorus:
Well I feel like a critter on the road
Maybe I want to get knowed
Life's got a bucket of woes for
The poor little critter on the road, oh
The poor little critter on the road
