Whiskeytown - I hope it rains at my funeral

^DA man with forty ^Gacres plowed and ^Dplanted ^ACan't send no fourteen year-old boy to no ^Dschool ^DThe one thing I ^Glearned in the years I ^Dworked on my daddy's farm ^AWas, "Son, you better get them crops in when it gets ^Dcool."

^DIn the magazines, ^GI saw the naked ^Dwomen ^AI heard about the drinkin' and the ^Dbars ^DIf my daddy could've ^Gcaught me, he'd a-^Dkilled me He said, "^AYou might run, boy, but you won’t get that ^Dfar."

^GThe miles were ^Dgood but the mileage is ^Dturnin' ^Amy hair ^Ggray I've met some ^Dpeople that ^Aknew me and call me ^Gfriend D G D A G Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver ^DI'd find different ways to ^Amake same mistakes ^Gagain (a cappella)

^DI hit town or you ^Gmight say that it ^Dhit me ^ANext mornin' there were things I knew more ^Dabout ^DSome woman took me ^Gin said I, "Seem to be ^Dall right." ^AI turned her on the same way, ^Dshe turned me out

^DThe first law I ^Gbroke, right away Johnny-law ^Dcaught me ^AI helped them build the country roads for ^Dawhile ^DThey fed two times a ^Gday and knocked you down ^Dabout four ^ABy the 13 day I... couldn’t even crack ^Da smile

^GThe miles were ^Dgood but the mileage is ^Dturnin' ^Amy hair ^Ggray I've met some ^Dpeople that ^Aknew me and call me ^Gfriend D G D A G Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver ^DI'd find different ways to ^Amake same mistakes ^Gagain (a cappella)

^DI met a nice girl and ^Gshe said I was her ^Dbaby ^AShe let me go and would never tell me ^Dwhy ^DI learned what it ^Gmeans to be somebody's ^Dbaby ^AThey let you lie in your bed by yourself so you can ^Dcry

^DSo let me say this, ^GI never tried to hurt ^Danybody ^AThough I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in ^Dthe eye ^DGrant me one w^Gish, I hope it ^Drains at my funeral ^AFor once, I'd like to be the only one left ^Ddry

^GThe miles were ^Dgood but the mileage is ^Dturnin' ^Amy hair ^Ggray I've met some ^Dpeople that ^Aknew me and call me ^Gfriend D G D A G Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver ^DI'd find different ways to ^Amake same mistakes ^Gagain (a cappella) ^GI’d probably make um... ^GSame way I made um... again ^DMake um all again
