I watched Cody play this acoustic in concert and im pretty sure this is correct. Feel free to comment!


[]Verse 1
[G]     
My mother had a mexican boyfriend
                        [Cadd9]     [G]
He stole a car once or twice before
                      [Cadd9]       [G]
He got busted in the best budget inn
                     [Em7]
I found my way to the door
                  [G]
I couldn't take anymore

Verse 2
  [G]                           [Cadd9]     [G]
Lived with my sister and her second husband
                    [Cadd9]      [G]
South of the river, north of grid
              [Cadd9]       [G]
I went to work with my cousin
                         [Em7]
Just like the rest of us kids
                      [Cadd9]
I tried to keep it all hid

Chorus:
    [Am]            [Em7]
It seemed so long ago
   [Am]                   [Em7]
I swore I'd never let it show 
            [D]
but I kinda did
     [Am]           [Em7]
The years can slip away
     [Am]                 [Em7]
When your trying to get away
            [D]
and I never did

Verse 3
I got tired of country livin'
And tried to make a new batch of friends
It's hard to give when theres no givin'
I stuck my thumb in the wind
Nothing against my kin

Verse 4
I headed back to where I started
Pawned everything I could pawn
I guess I thought they'd be open hearted
They never knew I was gone
I just kept movin' along

Chorus

Verse 5
I worked the day and the night life
I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground
One for pay, one for the good times
One of 'em still hangin around
I put the other one down

Chorus
