Capo 1

C                                      F
I woke up this morning with the best intentions
      C                                   F
Momma called, I think she knew I wouldn't show
  Dm                             G
I hate for her to have to answer questions
      Dm                                G
'Bout how I'm doin' but I just couldn't go


Chorus:
              F                G            C       C/B     Am
I don't want 'em all to see me cry, I don't want to have to lie
       F                      G                 C
In the good Lords house 'bout why I'd be there alone
              F              G                 C       C/B   Am
While momma's liftin' up her prayers, I'm just smokin' cigarettes 
    F         G                     C
And drinkin', drinkin' in my sunday dress


I'm in no shape to be the center of attention
We all know how small town rumors fly
Can't handle all the looks; and the opinions
It's hard enough right now to hold on to my pride

Chorus


Bridge:
Bb         F                         C
Maybe in a week or two I'll have the courage to face the crowd
Bb                         F                             G  
Momma won't have to dance around the truth the way she's probably doin' right now


Chorus

While momma's liftin' up those prayers, I'm just smokin' my cigarettes
And drinkin', drinkin' in my sunday dress
