[Verse 1]
 G
My mother had a mexican boyfriend

                        Cadd9    G
He stole a car once or twice before

                      Cadd9       G
He got busted in the best budget inn

                     Em7
I found my way to the door

                   G
I couldn't take anymore
[Verse 2]
   G                           Cadd9     G
Lived with my sister and her second husband

                    Cadd9      G
South of the river, north of grid

              Cadd9       G
I went to work with my cousin

                         Em7
Just like the rest of us kids

                      Cadd9
I tried to keep it all hid
[Chorus]
    Am            Em7
It seemed so long ago

    Am                  Em7
I swore I'd never let it show

            D
but I kinda did

     Am           Em7
The years can slip away

     Am                 Em7
When your trying to get away

            D
and I never did
[Verse 3]
   G              Cadd9      G
I got tired of country livin'

                      Cadd9      G
And tried to make a new batch of friends

                        Cadd9      G
It's hard to give when theres no givin'

                        Em7
I stuck my thumb in the wind

                    Cadd9
Nothing against my kin
[Verse 4]
  G              Cadd9      G
I headed back to where I started

                   Cadd9      G
Pawned everything I could pawn

                         Cadd9      G
I guess I thought they'd be open hearted

                      Em7
They never knew I was gone

                    Cadd9
I just kept movin' along
[Chorus]
 Am            Em7
It seemed so long ago

    Am                  Em7
I swore I'd never let it show

            D
but I kinda did

     Am           Em7
The years can slip away

     Am                 Em7
When your trying to get away

            D
and I never did
[Verse 5]
  G              Cadd9       G
I worked the day and the night life

                       Cadd9      G
I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground

              Cadd9      G
One for pay, one for the good times

                  Em7
One of 'em still hangin around

                    Cadd9
I put the other one down
[Chorus]
 Am            Em7
It seemed so long ago

    Am                  Em7
I swore I'd never let it show

            D
but I kinda did

     Am           Em7
The years can slip away

     Am                 Em7
When your trying to get away

            D
and I finally did
