Subject: Alive and Well by The Great Divide


TITLE: Alive and Well
ARTIST: The Great Divide (with Gary P Nunn)
ALBUM: Goin' For Broke
AUTHORS: McClure- Causley- J. Lester
KEY: G



INTRO: Your guess is as good as mine.



[G]Headed out for [D]Luckenbach on [G]Thursday Night 
      
[G]My friends gave me a[G7] double dog [C]bet

[C]Made it to Austin, [G]by Friday mornin'

[D]Luckenbach was just [C] to far to [G] get


I called my brother from a pay phone at the Broken Spoke
Just to let him now where I'd been
Told him not to worry, I'd be home tomorrow
Please give the message to my friends.

CHORUS

[G]That I'm alive and well down in south Texas

Haven't spent all [G7]my money [C]yet
                                             
I'll be broke tomorrow, but [G] I don't really care

There's [D]somethings that [C]money won't [G]get.


Ol' Jerry Jeff was right about the Broken Spoke
You can drink and dance and have loads of fun
If your timin' is right on a friday night
You just might catch Gary P Nunn

[G]And you can go[C] home to the [Em] arma [Am] dillo

Hear country [C] music from Ama [D] rillo and [G]Abilene

SOLO:

Well I really hate leaving south Texas
And Oklahoma so far away
I've got to be at work on Monday mornin'
Oh what the hell I might as well stay

CHORUS
