THE DEEPER IN
       G                             C          G
By the time you were born there were four other siblings

          G                           D
With your Mama awaiting your Daddy in jail

     G                   C        G
Your oldest brother was away at a home

    G                               D              G
And you didn't meet him 'til you was nineteen years old

     G                          C             G
Old enough to know better, old enough to know better

        G                                   D
But you took to his jaw line and long sandy hair

       G                  C            G
How he made you feel like none off the others

        G                                D            G
And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there.

       G                           C        G
So you jumped on his bike and rode into the sunset

        G                                       D
But the sequel it started with the next morning sun

        G                        C         G
And the dew on the bike seat and you all a glow

         G                        D           G
From the love he put in you and a life on the run.

       G                          C        G
So you moved to a small town, and then to another

    G                                   D
And then to another with another on its way

        G                           C         G
And you both swore to God you would keep it together

        G                        D       G
And the State wouldn't take your babies away

         C                         G
Now, the District Attorney said he might of forgiven

    G                                    D
You had lots of reasons to turn out this way

           G                        C           G
But you'll both go to jail for them four little babies

    G                   D        G
You made and delivered along the way

     G                             C
Last night you had a dream about a Lord so forgiving

   G                                      D
He might show compassion for a heathen he damned

     G                     C           G
You awoke in a jail cell, alone and so lonely

G                        D   G
