G
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead

                   C
Tells me there's a fit about to get thrown

              G
If we get the van out of the ditch before morning

             C
Ain't nobody got to know what I done

      G
And I never hear a single word you say

         C
When you tell me not to have my fun

         G
It's the same old shit that

                       C
I ain't gonna take off anyone.

      D                   C
And I don't need to be forgiven

        D                     C
By them people in the neighborhood

        D
When we first hooked up, you looked me in the eye

          C
And said "Paw, we just ain't no good".

        G
We were Heathens in their eyes at the time,

        C
I guess I am just a Heathen still

      D
And I never have repented from the wrongs

                     C
That they say I have done, I done what I feel.

         G
It was a difficult delivery,

         C
Now it's growing up mean and strong

         G
When you tell me that it's getting a little bit tight,

          C
Ain't the first time I been outgrown

    G
And I'm gonna push a little harder

          C
She ain't revved till the rods are thrown

     G               C
I'll walk away

      D                   C
And I don't need to be forsaken

   D              C
By you or anybody else

      D
And I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me

          C
About the dangers I pose to myself.

      D                    C
These times can take their toll sometimes

      D                           C
And I know you feel the same way, too

   G
It gets so hard to keep between the ditches

         C
When the roads wind the way they do.
