[Verse 1]
GThere's a Driver between us Gnow
Some state line Cborders, some broken Gtowns
Some singing Csailors doing what they Gplease
Now I'm down to selling Dprayers on my Cknees
[Verse 2]
I loved your Geyes, your innoDcence
In the face of Cbad times and where it GweDnts
There's no wind on this bitter Cearth
maj7G  D  C  
Time and distance claim my blues for what they're worth
[Verse 3]
I'd Gcall your name when I grew Dscared
I'd write your Chome if you were Gthere
I am so Cbroken by losing Gyou
Only life can heal Dand see me Cthrough
[Verse 4]
When it Grains I'm all Dalone
Confused by Clonely, headed for Ghome
Some singing Csailors doing what they Gplease
Now I'm down to selling Dprayers on my Cknees
[Verse 5]
There's a Griver between us Dnow
Some state line Cborders, some broken GtownDs
Some singing Csailors doing what they Gplease
Now I'm Gdown to selling Dprayers on my Cknees
Now I'm Gdown to Dselling prayers on my Cknees
[Outro]
