[Strophe]
D                    G      D 
I left Montgomery on North 65 
D                                 E           A 
I was restless and ready to give Nashville a try 
  G                        D          G 
I rolled into town with a sound of my own 
    D             A             D 
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
[Strophe]
       D                              G      D 
Well, the day job I landed felt just like a jail 
D                                       E         A 
I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails 
G                                     D      G 
And I spent all my nights in some old honky tonk 
     D            A            D 
Somewhere between Jennings and Jones
[Refrain]
        C                        G 
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars 
           F                          C 
I found a few good ol' boys just like me 
        C                        G 
Started burnin' our candles both ends and the middle 
           F                        A 
A bunch of roarin' outlaws at high speed
[Post-Refrain]
         D                         G          D 
And they said that the end of that road I was on 
        D             A            D 
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
[Strophe]
D                             G           D 
Well, some record executives found me one night 
D                                     E           A 
I was singin' half-lit, they said it sounded just right, right 
 G                                D             G 
Put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs 
               D              A            D 
Said I was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
[Refrain]
        C                        G 
Hangin' out in the bars with the drunks and the stars 
      F                           C 
And a few good ol' boys just like me 
C                        G 
Burnin' our candles both ends and the middle 
            F                       A 
A bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed
[Post-Refrain]
         D                         G          D 
And they said that the end of that road I was on 
                       A           D 
Was somewhere between Jennings and Jones
[Outro]
D                                G               D 
Now to find me in a record store won't take you long 
          D             A             D 
I'm right there between Jennings and Jones
