          E
He drinks orange juice and vodka In the basement while she's talkin'

                                                  B7
To someone, long-distance, for hours and hours on end

B7
And as he's slowly sippin' he thinks about his children 

                                                            E
And the heart attacks that youngest daughter's always given him

E
He ain't smoke no marijuana since he got on with the railroad 

                                         E7                 A
And he's been on with the railroad for a long and loathsome while

                                   E
But the day that he retires, he'll smoke himself to China

      B7                                               E
He'll leave behind his worries as he races through the skies

             A
The days are dark

            E
Down in the holler

        B7             E        E7
Waitin' for the sun to shine

       A
On the back

              E
You have been breakin'

          B7
Tryin' to earn

           E
Peace of mind

          E
She sells Avon to her buddies and saves a little money 

                                                B7
On the makeup she's been using to hide away the years

B7
And she sits and watches TV usually every evening 

                                                                E
That there ain't some kind of ballgame that her daughter has to cheer

E
She sneaks menthols in the mornin' while her family's still a snorin' 

                               E7                A
And as she burns the Eggos she looks back at her life. 

                                          E
That heart she broke in high school he is singin' on the Opry

    B7                                                 E
She wonders what the hell that she was thinkin' at the time

             A
The days are dark

            E
Down in the holler

        B7             E        E7
Waitin' for the sun to shine

       A
On the back

              E
You have been breakin'

          B7
Tryin' to earn

           E
Peace of mind

      E
Their youngest daughter Stella, she's runnin' with this fella 

                                                         B7
That he can not stand the thought of that he surely does despise

B7
He's told her he best never see the two of them together

                                                                E
But it's hard to keep an eye on her when you're workin' all the time

E
There are things he needs to tend to, and the bills the bank keeps sendin', 

                                                E7     A
Lord the zeroes on the end keep pushing further to the right. 

                                        E
Like a freight train haulin' sorrow and movin' ever onward

            B7                                          E
Through the tunnel of forever to the never endin' light
