[Verse 1]
G
My mother had a mexican boyfriend

I found my way to the door
G
I couldn't take anymore
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G
Lived with my sister and her second husband
Cadd9 G
South of the river, north of grid
Cadd9 G
I went to work with my cousin
Em7
Just like the rest of us kids
Cadd9
I tried to keep it all hid
[Chorus]
Am Em7
It seemed so long ago
Am Em7
I swore I'd never let it show
D

The years can slip away
Am Em7
When your trying to get away

I got tired of country livin'
Cadd9 G

G Cadd9 G
I worked the day and the night life
Cadd9 G
I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground
Cadd9 G
One for pay, one for the good times
Em7
One of 'em still hangin around
Cadd9
I put the other one down
[Chorus]
Am Em7
It seemed so long ago
Am Em7
I swore I'd never let it show
D
but I kinda did
Am Em7
The years can slip away
Am Em7
When your trying to get away
