Verse 1:
G+G
In a single-wide across the way
C majorC G+G
Not far through Mr. Gifford’s pines
G+G C majorC
Was a girl with hair like summer hay
D MajorD A minorAm
And the mischief in her blue eyes seemed to shine
D MajorD A minorAm
I recall her mama loved her, and I wish I could forget
D MajorD A minorAm
The way that trailer smelled of burned out cigarettes
D MajorD A minorAm
Or her daddy and his temper, and how his spirit seemed to fade
C majorC
As time stripped every meager gift away

And it ain’t the first time, will it be the last time?

In a red brick house across the way
C majorC G+G
Not far through Mr. Gifford’s pines

Born to a family sound and safe
D MajorD A minorAm
I never knew home could be anything but fine
D MajorD A minorAm
I never touched the darkness, I never went astray

I was treasured every moment, every single day

One is given wings and one is gets more than she can bear

God in heaven, can you tell me how that’s fair?

We are strangers now, someone told me how

You’re a mother who’s fightin’ to say clean

And the winding road is now my home

It drags on and changes never end
C majorC
Still I miss the days when you were just my friend

It ain’t the first time, will it be the last time?
