A                E
You work for 37 years
        Bm                   D       A
Driving trucks, not shifting gears
A                      E
He never got it in his head
           Bm              D       A
To settle down, he'd never wed

🎸 Verse 2:
A                          E
He liked the river how it flowed
       Bm                        D      A
Unlike the breaker, never to explode
A                       E
It had no wires running in
             Bm                          D
It just went on and on and on until the ocean got to it

                         A
Oh well it's more than a job
                  F#m
It's more like a damnation
               D                 E
Well it was my life, now it's my loss
     Bm         D        A

A                   E
It was a honey of a night
           Bm                D        A
He met his maker, he saw the light
A                        E
The car was passing on a curve
                Bm               D        A
He never slowed down, he never swerved

🎸 Verse 4:
A                           E
And in the hot glare of the lamps
          Bm                          D       A
He had regrets; he'd never learned to dance
A                         E
There was no angel at his side
    Bm                                       D
No, there was a purpose that became homeless when he died
