Jackie

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] Bm D A G [Verse 1] D Half a section in the short grass at the foot of the plains A G D Grows broomweed in the dry times, ragweed when it rains D It's all she's got left that the lawyers don't claim A G Jackie does her damn best, never one to complain Bm D A G D She's been green breaking horses when she's home from the road A G Waiting on dispatch to find her a load D She leased all but the trap, ponies can't graze a thing A G Another bobtail of coastal ought to last them 'til spring Bm D A G D There were pitchers on the tables and kids running 'round A G Four generations of a blinking light town D It was the Cotton Eyed Joe or maybe just the right glance A G She got to going with Randy at the Friday night dance [Chorus] Bm D I just got two rules, if my conscience be known A G Don't lie to me, don't bring me nothing home Bm D Faithful's a nice word in Sunday school class A G Life's just too crazy for that Bm D A G [Verse 2] D Randy says not to worry, he'll feed while she's gone A G She's got the Freightliner idling half up on his lawn D He don't like her driving when the northers come blue A G But if the horses went hungry Lord knows what she'd do D 'Round Christmas up the Caprock you can see all the towns A G And the courthouses lit up for ten miles around D It's a magical time to be traveling the roads A G Watch the country roll by in the halogens' glow [Chorus] Bm D I just got two rules, if my conscience be known A G Don't lie to me, don't bring me nothing home Bm D Faithful's a nice word in Sunday school class A G Life's just too crazy for that Bm D A G [Bridge] D She jack knifed on black ice with an oversized load A G There's a white cross in the borrow ditch where she went off the road D She wasn't going that fast, the responders all say A G How it ended that bad, we can wonder all day [Chorus] Bm D I just got two rules, if my conscience be known A G Don't lie to me, don't bring me nothing home Bm D Faithful's a nice word in Sunday school class A G Life's just too short for all that Bm D I just got two rules, if my conscience be known A G Don't lie to me, don't bring me nothing home Bm D Faithful's a nice word in Sunday school class A G Life's just too short for all that A G Life's just too short for all that Bm for all that [Outro] Bm D A G
