[Verse 1]
D D
Caroline waits at the side of the road
G A
For another car, you see
D D
Her thumb in the air and her lovely long hair
G A
For another boy on the street
[Chorus]
D D
That’s the way, cause that’s what she knows
G A
And that’s the way it’s going to be
D D
Poor little girl doesn’t realize the world’s
G A
Not such a harsh place to be
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
[Verse 2]
D D
Her car's in the shop, it’s up on blocks
G A
A grease monkey underneath
D D
Got a lube job going on and on
G A
No filter to catch his release
[Chorus]
D D
That’s the way, cause that’s what she knows
G A
And that’s the way it’s going to be
D D
Another baby comes along
G A
Another mouth to feed
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
[Bridge]

D D A G
D A
Pine box comes, pine box goes
G A
Friends or johns, nobody knows
D A
Pine box comes and pine box goes
G A D
Six feet down is where she’ll go — from here!
G A D
— from here!
G A D
— from here!
[Verse 3]
D D
Caroline waits at the side of the road
G A
For another car, you see
D D
She’s got no care and last night’s hair
G A
Don’t care what Johnny thinks
D D
Selling her honey for some money
G A
A fix is all she needs
D D
Her thoughts are ugly and she’s real grungy
G A
Barely stands on her feet
[Chorus]
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D D
That’s the way, cause that’s what she knows
G A
And that’s the way it’s going to be
D D
Poor little girl doesn’t realize the world’s
G A
Not such a harsh place to be
D D
That’s the way, cause that’s what she knows
G A
And that’s the way it’s going to be
D D
Poor little girl never realized the world’s
G A
Not such a harsh place to be
[Outro]
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D D
Oh whoa ohhhh
G A
Ooooh, w'hooo, ooooh
D
Ooooh
