And Fhalf of every Cdime
I'm Gwashin' all the blankets
God Fknows that I'm Ctryin'

I'm savin' all my nickels

F C

And half of every dime

I'm washin' all the blankets

F C

God knows that I'm tryin'

I fixed the gate

F C G

We will find each other so they say

In the meantime

G C

I'm lonesome while I wait

I'm lyin' to my family

Of who I'm thinkin' about

I had another woman

F C

Somehow she found out

She always knew

We'll be honest with each other, me and you

In the meantime

I'll break a heart or two

Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers

For half of what they're worth

I'm dreamin' for a living

I got no time for work

It's gettin' hard

F C G

One day we will never be apart

In the meantime

G C

I'm wonderin' where you are

Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood

I pried up off the floor

The house is out of lumber

At least for now I'm warm

For now I'm warm

We'll be warm beneath the Carolina moon

In the meantime

I should find another room

One day you will be my reason too

In the meantime

I'll just be passing through
