(B minor) (D major) (A major) (G major)
Verse 1
Half a section (D major)
in the short grass at the foot of the plains
Grows (A major) broomweed in the dry times,
(G major) ragweed when it rains
(D major) It's all she's got left that the
lawyers don't claim
Jackie (A major) does her damn best,
never (G major) one to complain
(B minor) (D major) (A major)
Verse 2
(G major)
She's been (D major) green breaking horses
when she's home from the road
(A major) Waiting on dispatch to (G major) find her a load
She leased (D major) all but the trap,
ponies can't graze a thing
Another (A major) bobtail of coastal ought to (G major) last
them 'til spring
(B minor) (A major) (D major) (A major) (G major)
Verse 3
There were (D major) pitchers on the tables
and kids running 'round
(A major) Four generations of a (G major) blinking light town
It was the (D major) Cotton Eyed Joe or
maybe just the right glance
She got to (A major) going with Randy
at the (G major) Friday night dance (D major) (G major)
Verse 4
I (B minor) just got two rules,
if my (D major) conscience be known
(A major) Don't lie to me,
don't bring (G major) me nothing home
Faith (B minor) ful's a nice word
in Sunday (D major) school class
(A major) Life's just too crazy for (G major) that (B minor)
(D major)

Verse 5
Randy says (D major) not to worry,
he'll feed while she's gone
She's got the (A major) Freightliner idling
half (G major) up on his lawn
He (D major) don't like her driving
when the northers come blue
But if the (A major) horses went hungry Lord
(G major) knows what she'd do
'Round (D major) Christmas up the Caprock you can
see all the towns
And the (A major) courthouses lit up
for (G major) ten miles around
It's a (D major) magical time to
be traveling the roads
Watch the (A major) country roll by
in the (G major) halogens' glow
(D major) (G major)
Verse 6
I (B minor) just got two rules,
if my (D major) conscience be known
(A major) Don't lie to me,
don't bring (G major) me nothing home
(D major) Faith (B minor) ful's a nice word
in Sunday (D major) school class
(A major) Life's just too crazy for (G major) that (B minor)
(D major)

(A major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
She (D major) jack
Verse 7
knifed on black ice with
an oversized load
There's a (A major) white cross in the borrow
ditch where she (G major) went off the road
She wasn't (D major) going that fast,
the responders all say
How (A major) it ended that bad,
(G major) we can wonder all day
Verse 8
I (B minor) just got two rules,
if my (D major) conscience be known
(A major) Don't lie to me,
don't bring (G major) me nothing home (D major)
(B minor) Faithful's a nice word
in Sunday (D major) school class
(A major) Life's just too short for all (G major) that
Verse 9
I (B minor) just got two rules,
if my (D major) conscience be known
(A major) Don't lie to me,
don't bring (G major) me nothing home
(D major) Faithful's (B minor) a nice word
in Sunday (D major) school class
(A major) Life's just too short for all (G major) that
(A major) Life's just too short for all (G major) that
For all (B minor) that
