D
I WAS BORN IN THE DUST OF A DRUNK MAN'S LUST
A
WHERE HIS TEARS RUSTED SHUT HEART TO MIND
D
CHASIN' WHISKEY WITH FREIGHT TRAINS
G D A D
I FOLLOWED HIM DOWN FOR A LOVE THAT WE NEVER COULD FIND
HE WAS ALREADY GONE WHEN I TOOK TO WALKIN
SO I HITCHED UP THE WIND FOR A RIDE
IN THOSE WILD WHIRL WIND DAYS, I RODE SOME DARKER HORSES
FOR A LOVE THAT I NEVER DID FIND
G D
BUT IT DON'T MAKE A DAMN
A
WHERE I'VE BEEN DON'T MEAN THAT'S WHO I AM
G
MY HEART'S STILL STRONG
D
NOW I UNDERSTAND
A D G D
LOVE COMES HARD TO A DESPERATE MAN
I LEFT THE ARMY BACK IN 1989
FELL IN LOVE WITH ONE OF THOSE HIGHWAY GIRLS
WITH HER BLACK HAIR AND DARK EYES, I TRIED TO MAKE HER MINE
THOUGHT TOGETHER WE COULD SURE ENOUGH BEAT THE WORLD
BUT SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE THEY MISUSED HER
AND IT ROLLED HER UP CRAZY IN HER MIND
SHE BUILT A PRISON DOWN INSIDE HER
ONE MORE LOVE THAT I NEVER COULD FIND
CHORUS 2X
