(melody)[Verse 1]
Am G Well, the rain was a-fallin’ and the ground turned to mud Am D I was watching all the people running from the flood Am G So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man Em Am Em7 Am For the Lord to come a-helpin' knowing he'd understand
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em Deliver your children to the good, good life C G/B Am Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife G D/F# Em Shine a light in the morning and a light at night G D/F# Em C G/B | Am | % | % | % | And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right
[Verse 2]
Am G Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean Am D She spent all day with the washing machine Am G But when it came to lovin' she was never around Em Am Em7 Am She was out getting dirty all over town.
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Dm C Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down Dm G I was on my way to the lost and found Dm C So I took it to a dealer, I said make it run Am Dm Am Dm Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun
[Verse 4]
Dm C I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back Dm G And if it don't put you straight, it'll put you on the right track Dm C Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint Am Dm Am Dm But I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint.
[Chorus]
