As recorded by Aaron Watson
(2025 release)
Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
CI ain’t had a drink in a month of Sundays
CThough your leaving left me sideways
FBeen on that back row church pew
FSinging old gospel songs
CPreacher’s been preaching ’bout Heaven and Hell
CJesus and Jack don’t mix too well
FI got right, got saved, I prayed
FBut God knows you’re still gone
[Verse 2]
CLast night, I met this old Vietnam vet
CHe hit me up for a cigarette
FThen he bummed a light and he offered me
FA little swig of his Jim Beam
CBut I’m as dry as I can be
CI’m as dry as Throckmorton County
F‘Cause I’ve been buzzing on these
GNeon dreams and Marlboro nicotine
[Chorus]
FBut I’m riding high and I’m laying low
GAnd I’m hanging on for my dеar soul
C G/BAll those prayers you prayed paid off
AmAnd I just wantеd you to know
FThat I saw the light at that revival
GI gave up the bottle for the Bible
Am G FBut this heartache is ninety-proof
CAnd that’s the sober truth
FSwear that’s the sober truth
[Verse 3]
CI can’t Go back and undrink the rum
CYour reason for leaving’s whiskey strong
FI know it took losing you for me to find
FThe good book on the nightstand
C“Amazing Grace,” how sweet the sound
CI was lost, but now I’m down
FSince you’re nowhere to be found
GNow that I’m a better man
[Chorus]
FBut I’m riding high and I’m laying low
GAnd I’m hanging on for my dеar soul
C G/BAll those prayers you prayed paid off
AmAnd I just wantеd you to know
FThat I saw the light at that revival
GI gave up the bottle for the Bible
Am G FBut this heartache is ninety-proof
Am7 FAnd that’s the sober truth
C G/BYeah, that’s the sober truth
[Bridge]
Am7So Go fill your cup and raise ’em up
FY’all make a toast and throw ’em back
C G/B Am7And everyone drink one for me in memory
G FOf the fool I used to be
GBut now he ain’t me
[Chorus]
F‘Cause I’m riding high and I’m laying low
GAnd I’m hanging on for my dеar soul
C G/BAll those prayers you prayed paid off
AmAnd I just wantеd you to know
FThat I saw the light at that revival
GI gave up the bottle for the Bible
Am G FBut this heartache is ninety-proof
Am G F‘Cause God knows I still love you
CAnd that’s the sober truth
