This ol' boy lived down the road from me
C# G#
Used to drive a beat-up Dodge
Well, he showed up drunk as hell one night
C# D#
Parked in my garage
Gm
I had to ask him how'd he get so lost
C# A#
That you can't find your way home
C#
He said:
D# G# C#
I've been runnin' 'round in circles so long
D# G#
I didn't know ehere else to go
C# D# G# C#

See, his wife she left him
C#
An' took the kids
G#
An' he never was the same
C#
I guess they were all that he'd been livin' for
D#
An'he shouldered all the blame
G#
Well he always wondered what made her give up
C# A#
