[Intro] A E Bm D A A [Verse 1]
A                E
You work for 37 years

        Bm                   D       A
Driving trucks, not shifting gears

A                      E
He never got it in his head

           Bm              D       A
To settle down, he'd never wed
[Verse 2]
A                          E
He liked the river how it flowed

       Bm                        D      A
Unlike the breaker, never to explode

A                       E
It had no wires running in

             Bm                          D
It just went on and on and on until the ocean got to it

                         A
Oh well it's more than a job

                  F#m
It's more like a damnation

               D                 E
Well it was my life, now it's my loss

[Verse 3]
A                   E
It was a honey of a night

           Bm                D        A
He met his maker, he saw the light

A                        E
The car was passing on a curve

                Bm               D        A
He never slowed down, he never swerved
[Verse 4]
A                           E
And in the hot glare of the lamps

          Bm                          D       A
He had regrets; he'd never learned to dance

A                         E
There was no angel at his side

    Bm                                       D
No, there was a purpose that became homeless when he died
[Chorus]
