^AmI stood in line and left my name Took about six ^Ghours or ^Amso ^AmWell, the man just grinned like it was all a game Said they'd ^Glet me ^Amknow I ^Dmput in my time till the Pocono line Shut down two ^Cyears ^Dmago I was ^Amstaying at the mission till I met Marie Now I can't ^Gstay there no ^Ammore

[Verse 2]

^AmFella across town said he's looking for a man To move some old ^Gcars ^Amaround ^AmMaybe me and Marie could find a burned-out van And do a little ^Gsettling ^Amdown But ^DmI'm just dreaming, I ain't got no ride And the junk-yard's a ^Cpretty good wa^Dmys That ^Amjob's about a half week old besides It'd be gone n^Gow any^Amway

[Verse 3]

^AmUnemployment said I got no more checks And they showed me ^Gto the h^Amall ^AmMy brother died in Georgia some time ago I got no one ^Gleft to ^Amcall ^DmSummer wasn't bad below the bridge A little short on ^Cfood that's ^Dmall Now I ^Amgotta get Marie some kind of coat We're headed d^Gown into f^Amall

[Verse 4]

^AmI used to play the mouth harp pretty good Hustled up a ^Glittle do^Amugh ^AmBut I got drunk and I woke up rolled A couple of ^Gmonths ^Amago They ^Dmgot my harp and they got my dollar Them low life ^Cso and s^Dmo's ^AmHarps cost money and I ain't got it It's my own ^Gfault, I ^Amsuppose

[Verse 5]

^AmThe Pocono's down but the Chesapeake's running Two freights ^Gevery^Amday ^AmIf it was just me, I'd be headed south But Marie can't ^Gcatch no ^Amtrain She's ^Dmgot some pain and she thinks it's a baby Says we gotta ^Cwait and ^Dmsee In my ^Amheart I know it's a little boy Hope he don't ^Gend up like ^Amme

[Verse 6]

^AmWell, the man's still grinning says he lost my file I gotta stand in ^Gline ^Amagain ^AmI want to kill him but I just say no I had enough of that ^Gline my ^Amfriend I ^Dmhead back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold I'm feeling too l^Cow down to ^Dmlie I ^Amguess I'll just tell Marie the truth Hope she don't ^Gbreak down and ^Amcry

[Verse 7]

^AmMarie she didn't wake up this morning She didn't ^Geven ^Amtry ^AmShe just rolled over and went to Heaven My little boy ^Gsafe in^Amside I ^Dmlaid them in the sun where somebody'd find them Caught a Chesa^Cpeake on the ^Dmfly ^AmMarie will know I'm headed south So's to meet me ^Gby and ^Amby
