VERSE:
 AmMama's crying in the back room she won't let nobody in
         G                                    AmThere's bill's to pay and mouths to feed and daddys drunk again
 AmRain comes through the trailer roof and fills the buckets to the brim
    G                                              AmBetween the death and cigarettes a childhood gives in

Am                       DmAnd out of trailer parks and foreclosed homes
   G                           CI cut my teeth so bittersweet out on the road
 C                                   DmBut now I'm getting old and it's so hard to settle down
        G                        E                 AmLeave another low down city to another goddamn town

VERSE:
AmLay down upon the barren earth and rest your weary eyes
      G                         AmDive deep into your memory and lock yourself inside
 AmRemember how the roses grew when watered with sweet tea
        GThose southern nights those golden days you layed
                 AmYourself besides me


VERSE:
Am             C               Am                     DI'm bound for better days and hope these wounds will heal
      G                                   CBut scars last till the bitter end when flesh breaks under steal
                             DmAt night I like awake and I wish I would've stayed
 GOut on the banks and lowman road
E                    Am Till the end of my days

VERSE:
AmSo if you see my darlin' won't you send my love
 G                               AmSix months to the day and she is all I'm thinking of
AmSee to it she's got a coat against the winters cold
   G                                       AmA fireplace to keep her warm and rest her weary souls

                                  DmSo lay yourself down easy in the bitter root and pine
          G             EmLet the trials of this world make you stronger
    E       AmOr pass you bye
