Peace Of Mind

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
He drinks [D]orange juice and vodka
In the basement while she's talking
To someone long distance
For hours and hours on [A]end
And as he's slowly sippin'
He thinks about his children
And the heart attacks
that youngest daughter's always giving [D]him

[Verse 2]
He ain't [D]smoked no marijuana
Since he got on with the railroad
And he's been on with the railroad
For a long and lonesome lonesome [G]while
But the day that he retires
He'll [D]smoke himself to China
He'll [A]leave behind his worries
As he's racing through the [D]sky

[Chorus 1]
The days are [G]dark down in the [D]holler
Waitin' [A]for the sun to [D]shine
On the [G]back you have been [D]breakin'
Tryin' to [A]earn peace of [D]mind

[Verse 3]
She sells [D]Avon to her buddies
And saves a little money
On the makeup she's been usin'
To hide away the [A]years
And she sits and watches TV
Usually every evening
If there ain't some kind of ballgame
That her daughter has to [D]cheer

[Verse 4]
She sneaks [D]menthols in the mornin'
While her family's still snorin'
And as she burns the Eggo's
She looks back at her [G]life
That heart she broke in high school
He's [D]singing on the Opry
She [A]wonders what the hell
that she was [D]thinkin' at the time

[Chorus 2]
The days are [G]dark down in the [D]holler
Waitin' [A]for the sun to [D]shine
On the [G]back you have been [D]breakin'
Tryin' to [A]earn peace of [D]mind[A][D]

[Verse 5]
Their [D]youngest daughter Stella
She's running with this fella
That he cannot stand the thought of
That he surely does des[A]pise
He's told her he best never
See the two of them together
But it's hard to keep an eye on her
When you're workin' all the [D]time

[Verse 6]
There are [D]things he needs to tend to
And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
Lord, the zeros on the end
Keep pushing further to the [G]right
Like a freight train haulin' sorrow
And [D]movin' ever onward
Through the [A]tunnel of forever
To the never endin' [D]light
