Verse 1:

N.C.
By the time you were born there were four other siblings
N.C.
With your momma awaiting your daddy in jail
N.C.
And your oldest brother was away at a home
N.C.
And you didn't meet him til you were nineteen years old

Verse 2:

   G+G
Old enough to know better
   C majorC       G+G
old enough to know better
     G+G                 D MajorD
But you took to his jawline and long sandy hair
    G+G
And he made you feel
   C majorC      G+G
like none of the others
     G+G                D MajorD      G+G
And the way he looked at you touched you deep down in there

Verse 3:

    G+G
So you jumped on his bike
      C majorC    G+G
and rolled into the sunset
     G+G                    D MajorD
But the sequel it started with the next morning sun
     G+G
And the dew on the bike seat
   C majorC    G+G
and you all aglow
     G+G            D MajorD      G+G
From the love he put in you and a life on the run
    G+G
So you moved to a small town
C majorC     G+G
then to another
G+G                  D MajorD
Then to another with another on its way
     G+G
And you both swore to God
      C majorC     G+G
you would keep it together
     G+G            D MajorD    G+G
And the state wouldn't take your babies away

Verse 4:

     C majorC
Now, the District Attorney
     G+G
said he might have forgiven
   G+G                  D MajorD
You had lots of reasons to turn out this way
      G+G
But you'll both go to jail
     C majorC      G+G
for them four little babies
   G+G          D MajorD    G+G
You made and delivered along the way

Solo:

G+G C majorC G+G  G+G D MajorD G+G  G+G C majorC G+G  G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse 5:

   G+G
Last night you had a dream
   C majorC     G+G
of a Lord so forgiving
  G+G                    D MajorD
He might show compassion for a heathen He damned
   G+G
You awoke in a jail cell
 C majorC      G+G
alone and so lonely
G+G            D MajorD G+G
Seven years in Michigan
