 I watched Cody play this acoustic in concert and im pretty sure this is correct. Feel free to comment!
 
 []Verse 1
 [G]
 My mother had a mexican boyfriend
 [Cadd9] [G]
 He stole a car once or twice before
 [Cadd9] [G]
 He got busted in the best budget inn
 [Em7]
 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]
 but I kinda did
 [Am] [Em7]
 The years can slip away
 [Am] [Em7]
 When your trying to get away
 [D]
 and I never did
 
 Verse 3
 I got tired of country livin'
 And tried to make a new batch of friends
 It's hard to give when theres no givin'
 I stuck my thumb in the wind
 Nothing against my kin
 
 Verse 4
 I headed back to where I started
 Pawned everything I could pawn
 I guess I thought they'd be open hearted
 They never knew I was gone
 I just kept movin' along
 
 Chorus
 
 Verse 5
 I worked the day and the night life
 I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground
 One for pay, one for the good times
 One of 'em still hangin around
 I put the other one down
 
 Chorus
