[A]If I ventured in the slipstream,

[D]And the ditch in the back roads stop.
Chorus 1
[A]Could you find me?

[A]To lay me down,
[F#m]In silence easy;
[A]To be born again,
[D]To be born again.
Verse 2
[A]From the far side of the ocean,
[D]If I put the wheels in motion.
[A]And I stand with my arms behind me,
[D]And I'm pushin' on the door.

[A]There you go,
[D]Standin' with the look of avarice,
[A]Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter,

[A]Whisperin' in the hall.
[D]And pointin' a finger at me.
[A]There you go, there you go,
[D]Standin' in the sun, darlin',
[A]With your arms behind you,
[D]And your eyes before.
[A]There you go,
[D]Takin' good care of your boy,
[A]Seein' that he's got clean clothes.

[A]A-pointin' a finger at me.

[A]Yeah, yeah, yeah.
