Verse

I’m goin’ back to the country, I can’t pay the rent
Though I’m not exactly broke, brother I’m sure bent
      C                         G
Can’t understand where my money went
I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent.

Verse

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went
I met too many good looking girls and that’s where my money went
       C                  G
Yeah I know just where it went
     D7                        G
No I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent.

Verse

When I get back to the country I’ll be livin’ in a tent
Ma and Pa will sure be mad about all the money I spent
      C                        G
Can’t understand just where it went
     D7                        G
No I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent
