[Verse 1]
AWhen I rolled out of town on the unpaved road
EI was fifty-seven dollars from being broke
AKissed my mama and my sisters, I said goodbye
And A7with my suitcase packed I wiped the Dtears from my AeyesE  
[Verse 2]
ATimes they were tough, growing up at home
EMy daddy lost the farm when I was two years old
ATook a job at the prison, working second shift
And A7that's the last time I let them Dtake what should be AhisE  
[Chorus]
Cause Gall I wanna do is make a little cash
Cause I Cworked all the bad jobs, bustin' my hands
I wanna Gbuy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
And Dturn back the clock on the Ccruel hands of GtimeG#  
[Verse 3]
AWhen I hit the city, I joined the band
Started Esinging in the bars and running with the men
But the Amen they brought me problems and the drinking caused me grief
I A7thought I'd found a friend but I Donly found a AthiefE  
[Verse 4]
ASoon I settled down with a married man
We Ehad a couple babies, started living off the land
But Amy firstborn died and I cried out to God
Is there A7anybody up there lookin' Ddown on me at Aall?E  
[Chorus]
Cause Gall I wanna do is make something last
But I Ccan't see the future, I can't change the past
I wanna Gbuy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
DTurn back the clock on the Ccruel hands of GtimeG

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road

I was fifty-seven dollars from being broke

Kissed my mama and my sisters, I said goodbye

A7 D A E

And with my suitcase packed I wiped the tears from my eyes

[Verse 2]

Times they were tough, growing up at home

My daddy lost the farm when I was two years old

Took a job at the prison, working second shift

A7 D A E

And that's the last time I let them take what should be his

[Chorus]

Cause all I wanna do is make a little cash

Cause I worked all the bad jobs, bustin' my hands

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]

When I hit the city, I joined the band

Started singing in the bars and running with the men

But the men they brought me problems and the drinking caused me grief

A7 D A E

I thought I'd found a friend but I only found a thief

[Verse 4]

Soon I settled down with a married man

We had a couple babies, started living off the land

But my firstborn died and I cried out to God

A7 D A E

Is there anybody up there lookin' down on me at all?

[Chorus]

Cause all I wanna do is make something last

But I can't see the future, I can't change the past

I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine

D C G G

Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time

[Solo]

So if I ever said it wrong won't you forget what you heard

[Chorus]

Cause all I wanna do is make my own path

Cause I know what I am, I know what I have

I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine

Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
