Undone
Written by: Robert Earl Keen
Intro: C D G C D
DFire one up and you toss one down
CEverybody knows you been downtown
DBeen downtown late last night
CBust your head in a barroom fight
DFightin' with your brother, fightin' with your wife
CSeems you've been fighting every day of your life
DCan't stand still, still can't run
CYou put it all together but it come unDdone G C D C D
DYour soul is junk, your brain is dust
CAll of your memories are eaten up with rust
DYour nightmare's real, dreams too stark
CYou love the night but you hate the dark
DYour momma, your daddy, little sister too
CTold you a secret they were countin' on you
DYou were dying to tell but your dad said son
CButton your lip but it come unDdone, unGdone, unCdonDe C D
DSo they turned you out when you turned them in
CThey told you don't come back again
DNow the years stack up like old beer cans
CDead end jobs, payment plans
DBroke down trucks, welfare checks
CChild support, back-seat sex
DYou'd kill yourself but you hocked your gun
CYou built a noose but it come unDdone, unGdone, unCdonDe, unCdonDe
DSo you're livin' in a shack but you wanna be rich
CAnd you would if it wasn't for that sonovabitch
DThe sonovabitch, the dirty old whore
CThe butcher, the baker, the grocery store
DYou hate them, they hate you
CWhat in the world are you gonna do?
DIt ain't your fault but they need someone
CTo blame it on when they come unDdone, unGdone, unCdonDe, unCdonDe
DNow the storm's comin' in, the sky's turned black
CIt's too late now, you can't turn back
DLightnin' strikes on the telephone wire
CYou're drunk as a skunk, your shack's on fire
DThe wife took the baby and the other two kids
CThe dogs are a-howlin' and the chickens are dead
DIt's your last night out and you're gonna have fun
C (play then mute)
They'll read it in the papers when you come
unDdone, unGdone, unCdonDe, unCdonDe
UnCdonDe, unCdonDe C D G C D
