David Allan Coe - Heaven only knows

^GYou ain?t ^Amdaddy?s little ^Dgirl anymore^G Isn?t ^Amthat a cryin? ^Dshame ^G With your ^Amdreams of Cali^Dfornia ^G Searchin? ^Amfor you wealth and ^Dfame ^Bm I can still see the ^Cteardrops^{B A G} Streamin? down your ^Dface ^Bm I can hear you ^Csay ^{B A G} There?s no future in this p^Dlace.

^GSo you ^Ampacked your be^Dlongin?s ^G While I ^Amstood watched you ^Dgo ^Bm Why I never tried to ^Cstop you ^{B A G} Heaven Only ^DKnows.

^GThrough the ^Amyears I got some ^Dpostcards ^G That is ^Amall that I ^Drecall^G Tellin? ^Amme that you were ^Dhappy ^G But I ^Amnever got one ^Dcall ^Bm You thought you knew all the ^Canswers ^{B A G} When you were seven^Dteen ^Bm Someone just sent me your ^Cpicture ^{B A G} From some dirty maga^Dzine^G And I?ve ^Amheard you?ve made some ^Dmovies ^G That I ^Amwould not care to ^Dsee ^Bm I just know how much I ^Clove you ^{B A G} That don?t mean a thing to ^Dme.

^GI guess your ^Ambrother felt the ^Dsame way ^G I could not ^Amkeep him on the ^Dfarm ^G They found his ^Ambody in ^DChicago ^G With a ^Amneedle in his ^Darm ^Bm I can still see the ^Cteardrops ^{B A G} Streamin? down his ^Dface ^Bm I can still hear him ^Csay ^{B A G} There?s no future in this ^Dplace.

^GSo he ^Ampacked his be^Dlongin?s ^G Like you ^Amdid once long ^Dago ^Bm Why I never tried to ^Cstop him ^{B A G} Heaven Only ^DKnows.

^GNow I?m ^Amstandin? in this ^Dgraveyard ^G Were we ^Amlaid your momma ^Ddown ^G I re^Amcall that preacher?s ^Dwords now ^G When they ^Amput her in the ^Dground^Bm It?s your job to raise these ^Cchildren^{B A G} And I tried to do my ^Dbest ^Bm It?s been ten years since we ^Clost her ^{B A G} From that cancer in her ^Dchest ^Bm And I can feel the ^Cteardrops^{B A G} Streamin? down my ^Dface ^Bm Lately you know I?ve been ^Cthinkin?^{B A G} There?s no future in this ^Dplace.

^GAnd I would ^Ampack my be^Dlongin?s ^G But if ^Amgot no place to ^Dgo ^Bm Why the good Lord doesn?t ^Ctake me^{B A G} Heaven Only ^DKnows.

But ^Gyou ain?t ^Amdaddy?s little ^Dgirl anymore^G Isn?t ^Amthat a cryin? shame^G
