This old boy lived down the road from me
A E Esus E
Used to drive a beat up Dodge
E B E
He showed up drunk as hell one night
A B
Parked in my garage
E B
I had to ask him
E
How'd you get so lost
A F#
Man how do you get so low
A B E A
He said I've been running around in circles for so long
B E
I didn't know where else to go
E B E
See his wife she left him and took the kids
A E Esus E
And he never was the same
E B E
I guess they were all that he'd been living for
A B
And he shouldered all the blame
E B E
He always wondered what made her give up
A F#
And why was he the last to know
A B E A
She'd been running around in circles for so long
B E
She didn't know where else to go
A B E
Guess we all lose our way sometimes
A B E
Get stuck out on that road
A B E
When there's no where left to turn we just stop
A B
The ones we love pay the toll
E B E
This old boy lived down the road from me
A E Esus E
Today we laid him in the ground
E B E
Drove that old dodge right off the river bridge
A B
Without even slowing down
E B E
Read the letter he left for his old man
A F#
Said God I loved her so
A B E A
He said I've been running around in circles for so long
B E
I didn't know where else to go
