Intro A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE Bm7Bm7 E MajorE

verse 1
E MajorE
He drinks orange juice and vodka in the basement while she?s talkin?
E MajorE                          Bm7Bm7
To someone, long distance, for hours and hours on end
Bm7Bm7
And as he slowly sipping he thinks about his children
Bm7Bm7                      E MajorE
And the heart attacks that youngest daughters always giving him
E MajorE
He ain?t smoke no marijuana since he got on with the railroad
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
And he?s been on with the railroad for a long and loathsome while
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
But the day that he retires he will smoke himself to China
     Bm7Bm7                  A augmentedA      E MajorE
He will leave behind his worries as he?s racing through the sky

verse 2
E MajorE
She sells Avon to her buddies and saves a little money
E MajorE                          Bm7Bm7
On the makeup she?s been using to hide away the years
Bm7Bm7
And she sits and watches TV usually every evening
Bm7Bm7                    E MajorE
If there aint some kind of ball game her daughter has to cheer
E MajorE
She sneaks menthols in the morning while her family?s still a-snoring
E MajorE                   A augmentedA
And as she burns the echoes she looks back at her life
A augmentedA                     E MajorE
That heart she broke in high school he?s singin? on the Opry
   Bm7Bm7                     A augmentedA    E MajorE
She wonders what the hell that she was thinking at the time

         A augmentedA        E MajorE
Oh the days are dark down in the holler
    Bm7Bm7       E MajorE
Waitin? for the sun to shine
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
On the back you?ve been breaking
     Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
Trying to earn peace of mind

verse 3
E MajorE
Their youngest daughter Stella she?s been running with this fella
E MajorE                             Bm7Bm7
That he can not stand the thought of that he surely does despise
Bm7Bm7
He?s told her he?d best never see the two of them together
Bm7Bm7                        E MajorE
But its hard to keep an eye on her when you?re working all the time
E MajorE
There are things he needs to tend to and the bills the bank keeps sendin?
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Lord the zeros on the end keep pushing further to the right
A augmentedA                    E MajorE
Like a freight train haulin? sorrow and moving ever onward
       Bm7Bm7                 A augmentedA   E MajorE
Through the tunnel of forever towards the never ending light

         A augmentedA        E MajorE
Oh the days are dark down in the holler
    Bm7Bm7       E MajorE
Waitin? for the sun to shine
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
On the back you?ve been breaking
     Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
Trying to earn peace of mind
     Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
Trying to earn peace of mind
