The Straight Life Behind
Recorded by Glen Campbell
Written by Sonny Curtis

C Em F C
Sometimes I imagine myself as a drifter
E7 Am D7 G7
A seeker of fortune connoisseur of great wines
F Am C
Dashing through meadows of yellow and green
F C
Trying to catch the impossible dream
A# G7
A-leaving the straight life behind

C Em F C
Sometimes my thoughts found me way down in Mexico
E7 Am D7 G
A-drinking tequila going out of my mind
F C
Having a ball on a couple 'a bob
F C
A-treating the ladies to corn on the cob
A# G7
A-leaving the straight life behind

F Em
And suddenly all my silly thoughts disappear
Dm G7 C
She comes to me softly with crackers and beer
A# F
A-winking and blinking and blowing my ear
C Gm G7 G
A-running away with my mind
F Em Dm C
It's great to be in love I'm not really thinking of
A# D#
A-leaving the straight life behind
G C G7 C
I'm just playing a game in my-y mind

Em F C
Once in a while in my mind I go a-bumming
E7 Am D7 G
A-going nowhere with no worry of time
F C
Running along chasing after a train
F C
Humming a song in the sun and the rain
A# G7
A-leaving the straight life behind

C Em F C
I can just see me on a tropical island
E7 Am D7 G
A-riding the surf and drinking coconut wine
F C
Having me fun with the girls in the sand
F C
Chasing the sun through an innocent land
A# G7
A-leaving the straight life behind
