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

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

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

Verse 5:

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