Easing down a dirt road
G D
On the hard-luck side of town

A 4x4, a reformed whore
Em A
A preacher and a clown
G A
The clown was wearing grease paint
G D
The preacher wore the same
G D
The ex-whore wore bermuda shorts
A D
And mumbled Jesus’ name
[Chorus]

All the way home, children

All the way home

You’ll fall like a bird

You’ll fly like a stone

Shot by the slings

Made of all you have known

You’ll try but you’ll never

Get all the way home

Why did you become a clown

touch that lion stuck her chin

Back into her biography

Of Mary Magdalene

[Verse 3]
D F#m
They drove out to a sawed off shotgun
G D
Shack back in the woods
G D
They went in one by one
Em A
And by a tiny bed they stood
G A
Cariss who said mama
G D
It’s okay we’re all here now
G D
Slim opened the curtains up
A D
And let the sunlight out
[Verse 4]
D F#m
Reverend Jim sang sacred hymns
G D
And Slim the clown just cried
G D
And placed his squirting carnation
Em A
Down by his mamas side
G A
Cariss looked embarrassed
G D
As she gently kissed the hand
G D
That slapped her on the first night
A D
She had ever knowed a man
[Verse 5]
D F#m
And they stood there for a while
G D
And one by one they raised their heads
G D
While plates they never ate from
Em A
Spoke of books they never read
G A
And then the silence parted
G D
Saying no one here’s to blame
G D
She may not know you loved her
A D
But at least she knows you came
[Chorus]
D F#m
All the way home, children
G D
All the way home
G D
You’ll fall like a bird
Em A
You’ll fly like a stone
G A
Shot by the slings
G
Made of all you have known
D
You’ll try but you’ll never
D F#m
Get all the way home, children
G D
All the way home
G D
You’ll fall like a bird
Em A
You’ll fly like a stone
G A
Shot by the slings
G
Made of all you have known
D
You’ll try but you’ll never
A D
Get all the way home
D F#m G D Em A D D
