Key: G major
Verse 1
he lives down a dead end road
He says there ain't no right or wrong,
it's just the way life goes
Johnny fought in Vietnam back in 69
But he ain't all quite back yet,
he's still waiting on his mind
Em
C
Says I wander empty places
G
D
between the past and what's ahead
I ain't walking with the living,
I ain't walking with the dead

That's just the way life goes,
G

it ain't up and it ain't down
It's somewhere in the middle,

above the ground
Moths don't grow out much,
we use a chair around the home
Had two sons and one dope visit
The other's dead and gone
She says she likes the air
But the food, it tastes like shit
She's been mumbling about her boys
Her mind's been on the slip
Em
C
She says I wander empty places
G
D
Between the past and what's ahead
I ain't walking with the living
I ain't walking with the dead

But that's just the way life goes

It ain't up and it ain't down
It's somewhere in the middle

I fought beside my brother
in that crazy Asian war
Seven weeks and three hot days
and two off second tour
The last thing I remember
is the terror in John's eyes
My blood was slipping through his fingers
It was carrying my life
F
C
D
people bought it up inside their homes
Em
C
D
If you don't count the ghosts
F

Cause I refuse to meet my fate
C

Until my brother and my mother
F
D
Join me at the gate
Em
C
Cause I'm wandering deep places
G

between the past and what's ahead
I ain't walking with the living,
I ain't walking with the dead
Em

But that's just the way death goes,
G

it ain't up and it ain't down
It's somewhere in the middle,
