  • Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    is 
    Alice 
    Walker, 

    they never 
    told 
    me 
    why 

    I'm 
    not 
    named 
    for anybody, 

    it's a 
    name 
    out 
    of 
    the sky 

    They 
    thought 
    it 
    was 
    pretty 
    guess, 

    way 
    back 
    when 

    I'll change 
    it some 
    day 

    I like 
    to 
    pretend, 
    I'm 
    Just 
    a visitor 
    here 

    Like 
    on 
    one of 
    those 
    shows 

    In a house 
    full 
    of people 
    I don't 

    hardly 
    know 

    But we'll 
    all 
    get 
    to home 
    in a 
    week 
    or so 

    Back 
    to 
    real 
    life 

    Verse 2

    And 
    I'm 
    picking 
    up the 
    carpet 
    in 

    the corner 
    where 
    I crash 

    I'm too 
    tired 
    to separate 
    the 

    pennies 
    from 
    the trash 

    And 
    I don't 
    guess 
    it matters 

    even 
    why 
    Jesus 
    died 

    I can 
    tell 
    you 
    about 
    sins 

    Verse 3
    They 
    got 
    this 
    duplex 
    up on 
    Fire 
    Line 
    Road 

    It's 
    way 
    out 
    from 
    town, 

    so 
    the 
    rent's 
    pretty 
    low, 

    Not 
    much 
    more 
    than a 
    cinder 
    block 
    cell 

    Just 
    like 
    the 
    one 
    next 
    door 

    And the next 
    one 
    as 
    well 

    Verse 4
    And 
    the bus 
    don't 
    run 
    out 

    here 
    but 
    three 
    times 
    a day 

    The 
    7- 11, it's 
    a full 
    mile 
    away 

    And 
    there's 
    a car 
    in the 
    yard, 

    mostly 
    rust 
    and 
    dents 

    We 
    moved 
    here 
    in it, 

    but 
    it 
    hasn't 
    run 
    since 

    Verse 5
    [Chorus] 
    Forget 
    my 
    name, 


    can 
    you 
    forget 
    my 
    face 

    Gonna 
    lose 
    my
    self 
    in 
    some 

    finer 
    place 

    Finer 
    Places, 
    where 
    I'll 
    go 

    I'll 
    leave 
    no 
    trace 
    out 
    on 

    Fire 
    Line 
    Road 

    Verse 6

    And there's 
    a pile 
    of 
    daddy's 
    quick- 

    picks 
    scattered 
    on 
    the floor 

    Among 
    the 
    half 
    empty 
    bottles, 

    that chair 
    against 
    the door 

    In case 
    he comes 
    home 
    drinkin', 

    with 
    lovin' 
    on 
    his 
    mind 

    I'd 
    nev
    er let 
    it 
    happen, 

    but that 
    don't 
    stop 
    him tryin' 

    My sister 
    weren't 
    so 
    lucky, 

    he got 
    to her 
    too 
    soon 

    She nev
    er 
    saw 
    it 
    coming, 

    he knew 
    just 
    what 
    to do 

    To keep 
    her si
    lent 

    I swear 
    to god 
    I'll kill 
    him if 
    I can 

    He 
    said 
    she 
    made 
    him 
    do it, 
    after 
    all 
    he's 
    just 
    a man 

    Interlude 1











    Verse 7
    [Chorus] 
    Now she 
    snorts 

    that 
    crank, 

    and stares 
    at 
    the phone 

    She 
    ain't 
    big 
    as a minute, 

    just 
    skin 
    on 
    bone 

    She 
    bites 
    her nails 
    right 
    down 

    to the 
    quick 

    And they've 
    taken 
    her 
    babies, 

    and they 
    won't 
    give 
    them back 

    And 
    know 
    she 
    loves 
    them 

    and 
    god 
    knows 
    she tries, 

    But 
    when 
    you're 
    that 
    far 
    down 

    you're 
    just 
    going 
    to get 
    high 

    It's 
    like 
    eating 
    or breathing 
    to 
    the rest 
    of us 

    She 
    can't 
    even 
    feel 
    bad 
    without 
    the stuff 

    Interlude 2






    Verse 8
    [Chorus] 
    My name 

    is 
    Alice 
    Walker, 

    Outro 1
    they never 
    told 
    me 
    why

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
