And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor

And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
C9 G
She'll lay it aside

Older father, weary soul, you'll drive

Back to the home you made on the mountainside

With that ugly, terrible thing

Those papers for divorce

And a lonely ring,

Sit on your porch

And pluck your strings

And you'll find the peace of the Lord.

Em7 C9 G
And there's nothing you can do about it now
