Whiskeytown

Biography:

Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.

Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.

Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized.

[Intro]

D G D
A D
D G D
A D

D G D
A man with forty acres plowed and planted
A D
Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school
D G D
The one thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm
A D
Was, "Son, you better get them crops in when it gets cool."

D G D
In the magazines, I saw the naked women
A D
I heard about the drinkin' and the bars
D G D
If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me
A D
He said, "You might run, boy, but you won’t get that far."


G D D A G
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
D A G
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
D G D A G
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver
D A G
I'd find different ways to make same mistakes again (a cappella)

D G D
A D

D G D
I hit town or you might say that it hit me
A D
Next mornin' there were things I knew more about
D G D
Some woman took me in said I, "Seem to be all right."
A D
I turned her on the same way, she turned me out

D G D
The first law I broke, right away Johnny-law caught me
A D
I helped them build the country roads for awhile
D G D
They fed two times a day and knocked you down about four
A D
By the 13 day I... couldn’t even crack a smile


G D D A G
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
D A G
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
D G D A G
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver
D A G
I'd find different ways to make same mistakes again (a cappella)

D G D
A D

D G D
I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby
A D
She let me go and would never tell me why
D G D
I learned what it means to be somebody's baby
A D
They let you lie in your bed by yourself so you can cry

D G D
So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody
A D
Though I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in the eye
D G D
Grant me one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral
A D
For once, I'd like to be the only one left dry


G D D A G
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
D A G
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
D G D A G
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver
D A G
I'd find different ways to make same mistakes again (a cappella)
G
I’d probably make um...
G
Same way I made um... again
D
Make um all again

D G D G D G D G D end on A
