Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

[Verse]
D5 C
Well in the early autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5 C D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
C D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'
D5 C
Well the rooster he got twenty gals, bet he's happy as a lark
D5 C D5
Well he wake 'em in the mornin' time, put 'em all to bed at dark
C D5
Put 'em all to bed at dark
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye
D5
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
D5 C D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies

D5 C
Well where were you last Saturday all dressed up so pretty?
D5 C D5
With your blue-eyed ballroom boy in Oklahoma City
C D5
In Oklahoma City
D5 C
Well a spade is made for diggin' dirt and an axe is made for choppin'
D5 C D5
And darlin' my heart's hard as nails they hammer in a hardwood coffin
C D5
In a hardwood coffin
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye

[Verse]
D5 C
Well way down in the bottom land a big black crow is laughin'
D5 C D5
No one never goes down there wonder what has happened
C D5
Wonder what has happened
D5 C
And in the early Autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5 C D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
C D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye

Well all I smell is cheap perfume
