[verse]
CI found no satisGfaction in the Clies I told to Fyou
CAnything is Gbetter than the Ccumbrance of the Amtruth
So I Cstole your last gold Fdollar
CTook everything I could Ffind
CWent out west to Ggamble
CDrink out the trouble in Fmind
FI crossed that Cdeep muddy Gwater
The Clast of my dignity and Fpride
Watched Cthem sink down in the Gbottom of that Ceastern contiGnental diCvide
[chorus]
Now I Fplead here in your Cmercy, oh the shame that I brought on us Fall
A beggar in the arms of Ccharity, like Adam after the Gfall
And I Fleave you my aCpology, though I am doing my Gtime
I Fnever meant to hit the Cbottom of that eastern contiGnental diCvide
[verse]
I Cthought I'd make our Gfortune
Make Csomething outta nothing aFgain
Like CI did when I first Gloved you
When CI was an honest Amman
Now my Ceyes are blacker than Fburned out tyres
As I Cwalk to the rising Fsun
CToo far gone for Gturning around
CNothing left to be Fwon
FI crossed that gCreat smokey Gmountain
From CTennessee to South CaroFlina
CFaded in the Gbottom of that Ceastern contiGnental diAmvideC  
[chorus]
Now I Fplead here in your Cmercy, oh the shame that I brought on us Fall
A beggar in the arms of Ccharity, like Adam after the Gfall
And I Fleave you my aCpology, though I am doing my Gtime
FYou never will get Cover that eastern contiGnental diAmvide
That Feastern contiGnental diFvideC
