G C G C G C G
G Her Father was a failure C Her Mother was a comfort G To a doctor and lawyer and Indian Chief. G The shirt ran out of buttons C He lost all his marbles at a baseball game G And they went on Relief. C G The bank took away their diplomas C G They locked them up inside of the chest C G And she moved away to Oklahoma A D And got a tattoo on the side of her breast G "God-Damn, My socks are still hard" C G From lying on the sofa on the night she was over in my backyard C Yeah, We was shooting the breeze out amongst the trees G When a shot rang low D G And left her standing down by the side of the road D G Down by the side of the road G Father have mercy, Whoo Whoo C Get her a nurse please G She's almost alone C G I saw her hand reaching out for the telephone C G We rather see her locked up inside a home D G Than see her standing down by the side of the road D G Down by the side of the road C G Headlights flashing on her skirt in the wind. C G Yonder comes a truck it drove by two men. C G G/F# Em Shotgun man leaned out and said do you want to take a ride? A D Out in the pale moonlight Light. light Light Lie Lie Lie lie G Too long in the hot sun C G She could've be Miss Wisconsin a long time ago C G Spent to much time inside of the early show C G We'd bought her a ticket but she didn't want to go D G She was standing down by the side of the road D G Down by the side of the road C G Headlights flashing on her skirt in the wind.
