[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road
E
I was fifty-seven Dollars from being broke
A
Kissed my mama and my sisters, I said goodbye
G D A E
And with my suitcase packed I whiped the tears from my eyes
[Verse 2]
A
Times they were tough, growing up at home
E
My daddy lost the farm when I was two years old
A
Took a job at the prison, working second shift
G D A E
And that's the last time I let them take what should be his
[Chorus]
G
Cause all I wanna do is make a little cash
C
Cause I worked all the bad jobs, bustin' my hands
G
I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
D C G G#
And turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
[Verse 3]
A
When I hit the city, I joined the band
E
Started singing in the bars and running with the men
A
But the men they brought me problems and the drinking caused me grief
G D A E
I thought I'd found a friend but I only found a thief
[Verse 4]
A
Soon I settled down with a married man
E
We had a couple babies, started living off the land
A
But my firstborn died and I cried out to God
G D A E
Is there anybody up there lookin down on me at all?
[Chorus]
G
Cause all I wanna do is make something last
C
But I can't see the future, I can't change the past
G
I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
D C G
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
[Solo]
G G C C D C G G
(same as chorus)
[Verse 5]
A
Still I keep a'running fast as I can
E
Trying to make something honest with my own two hands
A
And I ain't got the breath to say another bad word
G D A E
So if I ever said it wrong won't you forget what you heard
[Chorus]
G
Cause all I want to do is make my own path
C
Cause I know what I am, I know what I have
G
I want to buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
D C G
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
D C G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D C G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D C G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D C G
