I don′t love you anymore well that

Mom and daddy fought a war

Daddies dying, pain pills and pride and

  Sweet babies cry

                       B
But there's no one to tend to 'em

Verse:
   B                                          G
So I went out to the west when I turned seventeen
                 B
And I married a girl

B                                G
I swear I did everything that I could
                      B
Just to give her the world

         B
But she left in a shout one night
                       G                     B
I guess a man doesn't fall too far from the tree

          B
'Cause I cheated in Barstow then died in Nevada
           G                       B    B
Now she′s raising the kids without me
