D A
Outside there's a box car waiting
Em G
Outside the family stew
D A
Out by the fire breathing
Em G
Outside we wait til face turns blue

D A
I know the nervous walking
Em G
I know the dirty beard hangs
D A
Out by the box car waiting
Em G
Take me away to nowhere plains

A big big storm fall and break my crown
