Good Lord Lorrie
By Turnpike Troubadours
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
G Em C G C G
With her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the place
G Em C G
Then she told me that she loved me and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said I know
G Em C G
Lets get from here now darlin' if we're goin' lets go on and go
G Em C G twice
G Em C G
Well Lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like they do
G Em C G
But your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you
G Em C G
And if I ever set foot in Sevier County well your brother said he'd break my jaw
G Em C G
Here I stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest Arkansas
[Chorus]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
C C/B Am G
It's just a part of life for you and me
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been livin' with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
C C/B Am D
It's just another phase of being free
Am C
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G Em C G G Em C G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Well D-Queens dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
G Em C G
Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes
G Em C G
And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose
G Em C G
You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
[Chorus]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
C C/B Am G
It's just a part of life for you and me
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been livin' with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
C C/B Am D
It's just another phase of being free
Am C
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G Em C G G Em C G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da

[Verse 3]
G Em C G
Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
G Em C G
You ain't half of who I thought you was and this ain't fun no more
G Em C G
And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light
G Em C G
Well I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight
G C G C G
Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right
C
Mhmmm
G G/F# Em D C
Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
