G There are people who will tell you C take the shortcut, it's all right D7 put a bandaid on that broken leg C G pay the pastor and you'll be fine. G But I'm not so very trusting C Not to talk or to give advice D7 I'm surely on the first steps, C G if you wanna follow back to paradise G But I got Rebecca and we're happy C tonight I take her to the picture show. D7 In my dreams I smell Alfalfa, C G I'm riding broncs at the rodeo. C I'm grateful and I'm proud, G I've learned to carry the load. D7 C G Momma, please don't be sad if I never come back home G I always thought I would be a soldier, C playing ball on the T.V screen D7 Back in Highschool, I had a passion C G and a knuckle, na you wouldn't believe. G My brother Chuck died in Iraq, C Billy made it to the major leagues. D7 Well I just became my fathers' son C G and that's quite enough for me. G But I got Rebecca and we're happy C tonight I take her to the picture show. D7 In my dreams, I smell Alfalfa C G I'm riding broncs at the rodeo. C I'm grateful and I'm proud, G I've learned to carry the load. D7 C G Momma, please don't be sad if I never come back home. G All of the way the money taste, C and never know I could use some more. D7 I worked the graveyard at the railroad C G but got laid off six months ago. G They say beauty begets confidence C a rich white man opens the doors, D7 and if you don't make good connections, C G you'll be on stage, dancing with all the whores. G Aww, my back hurts but I'm happy, C Rebecca rubs my shoulder slow D7 In my dreams, I smell Alfalfa C G I'm riding broncs at the rodeo. C I ain't mad and I ain't bitter G I've learned to carry the load. D7 C G Momma, please don't be sad if I never come back home.
