[Verse 1]
  D                                       A
I like enchilados and old El Dorados that shine
    A7                                            D
And old friend the guitar and songs and women and wine
                            D7              G
They say that I'm livin too fast but I feel fine, yeah
A                                  D
And I just keep easin along in 3/4 time

[Verse 2]
     D                                                A
Sometimes I get sideways and stay up all night writin songs
     A7                                           D
They say it ain't healthy but somehow I keep goin on 
                        D7                                 G
I write what I feel and don't care if the damn thing don't rhyme
     A                                  D
Just gimme a C chord and play it in 3/4 time

[Chorus]
       G                                         D
It's a big old world and we all have to live our lives
    E7                                                  A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of us gonna get out alive

[Verse 3]
D                                                  A
So while I'm still kickin I'm gonna keep pickin my tunes
  A7                                             D
I like what I'm doin and I hope it don't end too soon
                                 D7                    G
Cause all of my life there's one thing I keep hopin to find
  A                                   D
A woman who likes to make love in 3/4 time, be nice ya know

[Chorus]
       G                                             D
It's a big old world and we all have to live out our lives
    E7                                                   A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of us gonna get out alive

[Verse 4]
   D                                               A
So while I'm still kickin I'm gonna keep pickin my tunes
  A7                                             D
I like what I'm doin and I hope it don't end too soon
                                 D7                    G
Cause all of my life there's one thing I keep hopin to find
  A                                   D
A woman who likes to make love in 3/4 time
