Verse 1
(D major) My name is James Lucas
I was (A major) born in Reming (D major) ton
And paroled from Richfield Prison
In the (A major) winter (Asus4) of (A major) (D major) '81
I was (G major) free and on the streets of Indiana
I'd just turned thirty- (D major) two
Just a man with nowhere left to run
No (Asus4) differ (D major) ent, sir, (Asus4) than (D major) you
Verse 2
Me and (D major) Pat, we married in the spring
Moved (A major) in with her Ma and (D major) Pa
On our wedding night she sighed,
"Jimmy
We can (A major) have anything we want" (D major)
It was (G major) for those things we wanted
We worked as hard as two
people (D major) could
But somehow in the end, mister
This (A major) didn't (D major) do no good

Verse 3
(D major)
The prison got me drivin' delivery
For (A major) Mr. Wills over in (D major) Ridgeside
Well, I started loadin'
a little extra
And I'd sell (A major) it on the side (D major)
I didn't (G major) like what I was doin'
I didn't lose no sleep at (D major) night
Mr. Wills, he was a rich man
He'd (A major) been a rich man all his (D major) life
Verse 4
I was on the loadin' (D major) dock one evening
(A major) When I heard the warehouse (D major) phone
The dispatcher said, "Jim,
they wanna see you
In the front (A major) office 'fore you go (D major) home"
All (G major) Mr. Wills said was, "I don't understand
I could send you back to
Richfield (D major) fast
If you needed some extra money, Jim
(A major) All you had to do was (D major) ask"

Verse 5
Well, that night (D major) me and Pat,
we had a fight
I was out (A major) drivin' 'round in the rain (D major)
With a fifth of gin and a half tank of gas
(A major) And ten dollars to my name (D major)
I (G major) passed a deserted liquor store
Way out on High (D major) way 1
I turned and pulled into that parking lot
Got (Asus4) out but I (A major) let my motor run (D major)
Verse 6
Well, I stood (D major) lookin' in the window
(A major) For (Asus4) a (A major) long, (D major) long while
When I walked in the man
behind the register
He (Asus4) looked at me (A major) and (D major) smiled
"That's some (G major) weather
we're havin' out there
Can I help you find somethin',
(D major) friend?"
I didn't answer, I just stood there
Then I (A major) turned around and (D major) went
Verse 7
I don't know how long I sat
in my driveway
My shirt (A major) was covered in sweat (D major)
The house was dark when I went in
Pat was (A major) lyin' awake in (D major) bed
She hit the light, (G major)
I was standin' in the doorway
She said, "I was worried,
where'd you been so (D major) long?"
I felt her arms around me
She said, "Jimmy,
I'm (Asus4) (A major) so glad you're (D major) home"
Verse 8
(D major)
Richfield Prison stands on a high hill
Where the (A major) county line (D major) runs out
And there's a whistle that blows
every time a man comes in
(A major) Or a man (D major) gets out
That (G major) night we lay wrapped in
each other's arms
Listenin' to the (D major) rain
I heard that Richfield whistle blowin'
Just (A major) blowin' in (D major) my dreams
Outro 1
(G major)
(D major) (Asus4) (A major) (G major)
