Bought new shoes for my babies

Well, that offerin' plate on Sunday's been gettin' kinda deep

      G                 D                  A
Since we changed up the brand of communion wine

Wash away all their sins and strife

As an old man now, I'm agin'

A
I bought my kids an education

So they could lead a better life than mine

A
Thanks to those methamphetamines

A
They ain't nobody worried about me

        G                 D                    A
They forgot all about the man that was runnin' shine
