2nd traste
[Verse 1]
Dm F
Mama said before my first bottle sip
C G
My left hand had calloused fingertips
Dm F
The only song she’d find to close my eyes
C G
Was the one by Coe a Texas lullaby
[Pre-chorus]
Dm F
How did I get here
C G
I’m not sure I’ll ever know
Dm F
Whatever choices brought me
C G
Feels like I'm Losing control
[Chorus]
Dm F
I’m stranded On a red clay highway
C G
somewhere only God knows
Dm F
Talking the finer points of life and death
C G
With a man in dark clothes
Dm F
I ain’t sure if it’s right or worth the fight or Maybe he's even a foe
Dm F
Yet here I stand six string in my hand
Dm
at the Appalachian Crossroads
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I’d find the rhythm of the rocking chair
C G
Mama singing “Write me in care of the Blues”
Dm F
My tiny feet would rather be bare
C G
Unless you could find a soft blue suede pair
Dm F
But 15 years pass with fight or flight
C G
starting walking down the road in the middle of the night
[Pre-chorus]
Dm F
How did I get here
C G
I’m not sure I’ll ever know
Dm F
Whatever choices brought me
C G
Feels like I'm Losing control
[Chorus]
Dm F
I’m stranded On a red clay highway
C G
somewhere only God knows
Dm F
Talking the finer points of life and death
C G
With a man in dark clothes
Dm F
I ain’t sure if it’s right or worth the fight or Maybe he's even a foe
Dm F
Yet here I stand six string in my hand
Dm
