  Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:

Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears

A               Em7
  She's waited on every creed an' color,

       G                           A
While waitin' on this day to get here
[Pre-Chorus]
          Em
Graveyard shifts, two bit tips,

         A
Makin' every quarter count,

Was worth it all to see her son,

        A
In that cap an' gown
[Chorus]
D
There are times in life when you gotta crawl,

Lose your grip, trip an' fall

When you can't lean on no-one else:

  That's when you find yourself

G    D
I've been around and I've noticed that

   G
Walkin's easy when the road is flat

      G/B                                C
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time

Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains,

So we could learn how to climb

  Hell bent to run in that local marathon

G                                          A
He trained through the endless pain an' pills
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em
It hurt so bad that sometimes

He just had to cry

          Em7
He didn't stop until he crossed

        A
That finish line
[Chorus]

  This world ain't fair

         G
It can knock you on your butt

  You can just lie there

            A
Or you can get back up

You gotta get back up
