In the mazes outside of Houston
E                             B7
There’s a woman with new cabinets

and add water pancake mix

Well today she’ll go to the strip mall
E                             B7
Dress her reflection in store windows
E                    A
When a few hours pass, she’ll have brand new bags
    E         B7       E
She’ll start on her drive back home

          A              E
There’s a rosary on her rearview

A necklace not worn round your neck

She got a ticket and went to the arena

To see the big hairband in town
E                    A
She stayed out late then for 25 years straight
    E         B7       E
With men that she’d met in the crowd

Got one son who stays in his bedroom
E                             B7
Putting stains in his sheets
E                    A
One son he aint been home
    E         B7       E
Since he was too big for daddy’s knee

Her love makes love in other bedrooms
E                             B7
Makes homes on nearby streets
E                    A
Even though she well knows it
    E         B7       E
She aint got the strength to take of his ring

🎸 Verse 6:
E            B7         E
She used to put wishes on pennies
E                             B7
Into a fountain they’d drown
E                    A
Now she keeps the coin purse locked
    E         B7       E
There’s a brighter way she’s found

🎸 Chorus:
          A              E
Its the rosary on her rearview

A necklace not worn round your neck

On her table there’s a magazine called people

Its full of folks she don’t know
E                    A
She finds comfort in some pictures
    E         B7       E
Of an actress at a grocery store

🎸 Verse 8:
E            B7         E
Then she talks up the wall to the ceiling
E                             B7
And the words fall back on her ears
E                    A
It aint so much she’s talking to herself
    E         B7       E
Than to a house that don’t care to hear

          A              E
There’s a rosary on her rearview
E                              B7
When the present longs for the past

Rosary on her rearview

Keeps her praying while looking back
