Folks, this is a brilliant song. If I had even the slightest training in music theory I would explain the 
time signatures, but I don't. It's difficult for me to say for sure if the time signature in the verse is
different from the instrumental/chorus section, but I think it is. 
If you have any idea how to explain this or even how to format it on here so that it makes more sense, 
I'd really appreciate some input on it. Hope y'all enjoy.
[Verse]
It’s a Flong hard road, through a Dmrough edged land
To the A#softest part of a mFan
And it’s Flined with stones, Dmtangled in regrets
That are A#just too hard to forgFet,   oooohA#  C  
[Verse]
There’s Frusty signs, overlDmooked on the way
To the A#heart of a troubled mFan
And you can Floose yourself, in the Dmdeep muddy ruts
Worn A#through by the pride of a maFn
Oh, worn A#through by the Cpride of a maFn

[Verse]
In a Flonesome field, there’s a Dmwild-eyed mare
Tied A#to the weight of a mFan
And she Fonce ran free, with the Dmwind in her hair
Breathing A#hard for the love of a mFan
Ohh, breathing A#hard for the Clove of a mFan
He won’t Flet her be, she won’t Dmlet him rest
‘Till he A#learns how to forgivFe
