I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in

I can't even spell my name my head's in such a spin

Today I tried to eat a steak with a big old table spoon

You got me chasin' rabbits walkin' on my hands and howlin' on the moon

Well Sug I took one look at you and it almost drove me mad

And then I even want and lost what little sense I had

Now I can't tell the day from night I'm crazy as a loon

You got me chasin' rabbits pullin' out my hair and howlin' at the moon

[ steel ]

Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a huntin' spree

Cause there ain't a hounddog in this state that can hold a light to me

I ate three bones for dinner today I tried to tree a coon

You got me chasin' rabbits I'm cratchin' fleas and howlin' at the moon

[ piano - guitar ]

I rode my horse to town today and a gaspump we did pass

I pulled him up and I hollered whoa and I said fill him up with gas

The man picked up a monkey wrench and wham he changed my tune

You got me chasin' rabbitts spittin' out teeth and howlin' at the moon

I never thought in this old world a fool could fall so hard

But honey baby when I fell the whole world must have jarred

I think I'd quit my doggish ways if I'd take me for your goom

You got me chasin' rabbitts pickin' out rings and howlin' at the moon
