Disappointed in the College Station, Texas music scene, he began playing guitar and learned to read and write music, basing his style on folk, country, blues and roots rock.

Tabbed by RWC
Capo on 2nd fret.
[Intro]
D - Dsus2 - D - Dsus4 - D (played over D chord below)
[Verse 1]
D
Put the horses in the stable
A Asus4
Load the mules on the train
D
Set your pistols on the table
A G D
Leave the dogs out in the rain
D
Take the money that they gave you
A Asus4
Hide it in a mason jar
D
Nobody now can save you
A G D
It don't matter where you are
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four winds blow
D A Bm A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
Fm Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
[Verse 2]
D
Left for dead in southern Georgia
A Asus4
At the hands of hapless John
D
With your baby waitin' for ya'
A G D
You were home before the dawn
D
You know your shakin' hands with Satan
A Asus4
When your mouth is goin’ dry
D
When that law man back in Dayton
A G D
Wouldn't look you in the eye
[Verse 3]
D
He was nothin' but a grifter
A Asus4
And he came to play the part
D
Disguised as Luke the drifter
A G D
Talk about a cheatin' heart
D
And he sold you down the river
A Asus4
when he rode into your town
D
Then that same old Indian giver
A G D
Struck a match and burned it down
[Verse 4]
D
Now you're alone and barely breathing
A Asus4
Looking down from up above
D
Needing something to believe in
A G D
One lonely truth and love
D
And the storm is slowly dying
A Asus4
At the breaking of the day
D
All the steel guitars are crying
A G D
I'm rollin' down that lost highway
[Chorus]
G
It ain't like you planned
Fm Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
