D 
G 
A 
D 
Well, here comes
G 
Parks and he's found an other bottle
D 
He tips it up like a trumpet,
A 
he takes a drink and passes it on
D 
And every man around the
G 
farm takes a chorus on the bottle
It ain't much, it ain't good,
D 
A 
but it'll get us through till dawn
G 
A 
Don't the freight yard sound
D 
Bm 
like a drunk in a metal shop?
G 
A 
I  can't believe it gets this cold in
Barstow
D 
And I can't believe I pissed
G 
my twenties away
D 
Well, if you take me back this time, baby,
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
I promise you I'll stay
And then
D 
Parks takes another drink and
G 
he starts to sing off -key
There's not a man big enough round
D 
A 
the fire to shut him up
D 
And in the cold morn he's singing hey -oke,
G 
tell -ark -ee
Texas found a job in
D 
California and everybody
A 
round the fire cracks up
G 
A 
Don't the freight yard sound
D 
Bm 
like a drunk in a metal shop?
G 
A 
I  can't believe against this cold bar
D 
story and I can't believe I pissed my
G 
20s away but if you take me back this time
D 
G 
A 
D 
G 
baby I promise you I'll stay
D 
A 
And then
D 
Parks hands me the bottle
G 
He says I'm going to
Tucson
Hold up on winter
At the
A 
Sally if I can
D 
I don't mind the praying
G 
And I don't mind saying
D 
I could listen forever to that
Sally

And then
D 
Park starts laughing hard,
G 
but he doesn't make a sound.
D 
G 
He grabs the bottle back from me an
D 
A 
d kills the last of the wine.
D 
And in the fires glow, I can see his eyes
G 
And they shine like brake lights
D 
A 
And I am grateful I cannot see mine
G 
A 
Don't the freight yard sound
D 
Bm 
like a drunk in a metal shop
G 
A 
I  can't believe against this cold in

G 
my twenties away
Well if you take me back this time
D 
A 
Baby I promise you
D 
I'll stay.
