    Verse 1
    My 
    mother 

    had 
    a Mexican 
    boyfriend 

    He stole 
    a car 
    once 
    or twice 
    before, 

    He 
    got 
    busted 
    at 
    the 
    best 
    budget 
    inn 

    I found 
    my way 
    to 
    the 
    door, 

    couldn't 
    take 
    anymore 

    Lived 
    with 
    my sister 
    and 

    her second 
    husband 

    South 
    of 
    the river, 

    And 
    all 
    regret 

    went 
    to work 
    with 
    my 
    cous
    in 

    Just 
    like 
    the rest 
    of 
    us 
    kids 

    tried 
    to keep 
    it all 
    hid 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus] 
    It 

    seems 
    so 
    long 
    ago 

    I swore 
    I'd 
    never 
    let 
    it show 

    But 
    I kinda 
    did 

    The 
    years 
    can 
    slip 
    away 

    When 
    your tryin' 
    to 
    get 
    away 

    And 
    I never 
    did. 

    Verse 3

    got 
    tired 
    of country 
    liv
    in' 

    And tryin' 
    to make 
    a new 
    batch 
    of 
    friend

    Its 
    hard 
    to 
    give, 

    When 
    there's 
    no 
    giv
    in' 

    I stuck 
    my 
    thumb 
    in 
    the 
    wind, 

    Nothing 
    against 
    my 
    kin. 

    Verse 4

    headed 
    back 
    to where 
    star
    ted 

    Pawned 
    everything 
    that 
    could 
    pawn 

    guess 
    I thought 
    they'd 

    be 
    open-hearted 

    They 
    They 
    never 
    knew 
    was 
    gone 

    just 
    kept 
    movin' 
    along 

    Verse 5
    It 
    seems 
    so 
    long 
    ago, 

    swore 
    I'd 
    never 
    let 
    it show, 

    But 
    I kinda 
    did 

    The 
    years 
    can 
    slip 
    away 

    When 
    your tryin 
    to get 
    away 

    And

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    worked 
    the 
    day 
    and 
    the night 
    life 

    drilled 
    the 
    bars 

    And 
    I drilled 
    the ground 

    One 
    for pay 

    One 
    for 
    the good 
    times 

    One 
    of 
    em' still 
    hangin' 
    round 

    put the 
    other 
    one 
    down 

    Verse 7
    It seems 
    so 
    long 
    ago, 

    swore 
    I'd 
    never 
    let 
    it show, 

    But 
    I kinda 
    did 

    The 
    years 
    can 
    slip 
    away 

    When 
    your tryin 
    to 
    get 
    away 

    And 
    I finally

    • 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.
