The Devil beating hisâ??wife

Some old tale the old folks told

It's a five mile walk between here and a town
Am
On a road lined with sugarcane
Gm
They won't notice if it goes anywhere
C
Here lately it's like they've
Forgotten his name
Dm Am C
He just can't forget the way
Bb F
That the days seem so much brighter
Dm Am
And thе breeze could blow the troubles away
Bb F C
You could see angеls dancin' in the flame
Bb F
This old place seems so much bigger
Dm Am
Now he sees it all a different way
Bb F C
Nothin's really changed but it ain't the same
F
He's been back from overseas about thirty days
Am
He returns standin' proud and true
Gm
Yeah the new's worn off of his welcome home

Like the heat burnin' off the dew

Empty bottles that mean the bills ain't gettin' paid

Same holes knocked in the walls

Mama don't fight back like in her younger days

Going over the edge well it's a hell of a fall
Dm Am C
Can he just go back a page?

But the buses run right on time
Gm
Anywhere's better than stayin' here
C
With the ghosts runnin' through his mind

Things that he's seen and done
Dm Am
Are so much for any mother's son
Dm Am
To live down or try to run away from

Can he run?
