As recorded by Turnpike Troubadours (From the 2025 Album THE PRICE OF ADMISSION) [Intro] A G D A [Verse 1]
A
Did you take my love to the heavens above

      G         D             A
Or to Denver or some mountain city?

                                           G  D  A
Render my heart with the hand of an artist
[Verse 2]
A
Hey now, I'm stocked for the drought

G               D           A
I'm settled in, there ain't no getting out

                                              G  D  A
Hey now, don't you know where that leaves me?
[Chorus]
E                     G
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind

      D
Ain't never been mine all along

A         G        D           A
Forgiving you is a thing I can do

               G             A      G  D  A
No matter what you have done wrong
[Verse 3]
A
I relate to it all as a whippoorwill calls

G            D     A
Lovesick and open about it

                                       G  D  A
Lonesome for home that I left long ago
[Verse 4]
A
And finally I did, I put in my bid

      G           D       A
For a life I kept quietly under my lip

                                      G  D  A
Finally I did, like a starry-eyed kid
[Chorus]
E                     G
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind

      D
Ain't never been mine all along

A         G        D           A
Forgiving you is a thing I can do

               G             A
No matter what you have done wrong
[Interlude] A G D A G A G D A [Verse 5]
A
At the old county line, see the logging road signs

     G               D            A
They run through the country like veins

                                             G  D  A
The red oak and hickory and dogwood and pine
[Verse 6]
A
Hey now, there's no need to hide

G            D             A
No one could find you now, not if they tried

                                   G  D  A
Hey now, where does that leave me?
[Chorus]
E                     G
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind

      D
Ain't never been mine all along

A         G        D           A
Forgiving you is a thing I can do

               G             A
No matter what you have done wrong
[Outro] A G D A G D A G A G D A
