Tuned a whole step down (DGCFAD). [Verse 1] N.C. By the time you were born there were four other siblings N.C. With your momma awaiting your daddy in jail N.C. And your oldest brother was away at a home N.C. And you didn't meet him til you were nineteen years old [Verse 2]
      G
Old enough to know better

      C             G
old enough to know better

         G                                  D
But you took to his jawline and long sandy hair

        G
And he made you feel

      C           G
like none of the others

         G                                D            G
And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there
[Verse 3]
        G
So you jumped on his bike

            C        G
and rolled into the sunset

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

         G
And the dew on the bike seat

     C        G
and you all aglow

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

        G
So you moved to a small town

C         G
then to another

G                                    D
Then to another with another on its way

         G
And you both swore to God

           C         G
you would keep it together

         G                        D       G
And the state wouldn't take your babies away
[Verse 4]
          C
Now, the District Attorney

         G
said he might have forgiven

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

            G
But you'll both go to jail

          C           G
for them four little babies

     G                   D        G
You made and delivered along the way
[Solo] G C G G D G G C G G D G [Verse 5]
      G
Last night you had a dream

      C          G
of a Lord so forgiving

    G                                       D
He might show compassion for a heathen He damned

      G
You awoke in a jail cell

  C           G
alone and so lonely

G                        D  G
