Capo on 2
Intro: C G Am F
verse 1
C G
She was a hot blooded woman, he never saw it comin'
Am F
She hit him from the side that's blind
C G
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the morning
Am F
laying there next to his Bride
C G
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
Am F
cause it filled him with a fatherly pride
C G
But a couple years later when their love started fadin'
Am F
he hurt so bad he nearly died
[Refrão]
C G Am F
It's been a long time, since I was faithful
C G Am F
It's been a long time, since I was grateful
C G Am F
It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye
C G Am F
It's been a long time, since I was grateful
verse 2
She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water
cause it's better for her baby to breathe
She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen
Now he's sittin' waiting on a reprieve
And she loves her lil' baby but she get’s a lil' crazy
cause it's harder than she ever conceived
He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone
cause she loves him like you wouldn't believe
Chorus
verse 3
He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother
He's always been a prodigal son
He gets a lot of drama when he goes to see his mama
cause he curses like a son of a gun
He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby
He swears that she's the only one
He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin' for tomorrow
and he's sorry for the damage he's done
Chorus - repeat x2
