Intro.:  (G) x 4 bars

(G) I was only 13 when daddy died
(C)Mama started drinking and my brother just quit (G)trying
(D)I'm still bouncing back, heaven only knows
How I came out like a (G)rose

(G) Ran off with what's his name when I turned 18
Got me (C)out of North Dakota, but it did not change a (G)thing
I (D)left it in the yard, all covered up with snow
And I came out like a (G)rose

(Chorus)
(C)Sitting in this diner with a coffee in my hand
(G)Waiting on a bus to some promise land
I (D)got a one way ticket as far as it goes
And I came out like a (G)rose

Inst.:  |(D) |(D) |(D) |(D) |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G)

So I'm (G)headed south to anywhere that ain't so damn cold
Where (C)I can warm my heart and shake the chills from my (G)bones
It (D)took a while to get here, it's been a long hard road
And I came out like a (G)rose

(Chorus)
(C)Sitting in this diner with a coffee in my hand
(G)Waiting on a bus to some promise land
Well, I (D)got a one way ticket as far as it goes
And I came out like a (G)rose

(Tag)
It (D)took a while to get here, it's been a long hard road
And I came out like a (G)rose
