E
I only had a couple drinks last night
                                 E7
And few good hits from a antler pipe
    A
And I must admit i had a few white lines
       E
And I don't know what all happened
I woke up in the noon time light
                                    E7
With a poundin' head, shiner on my eye
    A
And I don't know how and i don't why
        E
But it feels like fierce abandon

Chorus:
     B7                                         E
Ah, working on a buildin' out'a hand-hewn brimstone
 B7
Workin' on a buildin' and
                         E
I'm buildin' on it all alone
            A
Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight honey, honey sleep tight
 E
Ma i swear I'm doing alright
           B7
When the evenin' comes around
            E
I swear to god

Pay no mind to the words I say
'Cause they ain't no 'count anyway
I been ramblin' around and led astray
By the paths that I been choosin'
Cuttin' paths like a forest fire
Pupils wider than backhoe tires
Throwin' my money on a funeral pyre
But it sure feels good abusin'

Chorus:
Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and
I'm buildin' on it all alone
Well, there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Goodnight, honey; honey, sleep tight
Ma, I swear I'm doin’ all right
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God

Band's too loud for their Bible thumpin'
Feels too good to not count for somethin'
Big Sandy rock, Sludge River roll
Goddamn! Fire in the hole!
Look out, baby, I'm bound to blow
I'm bound to blow a gasket
Damn good gig, good damn crowd
Good God, for cryin' out loud
Comin’ off stage I was mighty proud
Then I don't know what all happened

Chorus:
Ah, working on a buildin' outta hand-hewn brimstone
Workin' on a buildin' and
I'm buildin' on it all alone
Well there ain't nobody in my room tonight
Good night, honey; honey, sleep tight
Ma, I swear I'm doing all right
But when the evenin' comes around
I swear to God
I swear to God
