Standard (EADGBE)

 There's a dirty piece of cardboard

 that reads Montgomery Ward

taped across the window of my old Ford.

 A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings,

I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing

I'd better change my wandrin ways,

I know I've seen my better days,

always gettin' high when I get low.

 Well, I left my soul out in the rain,

Lord, what a price I've had to pay.

The storms of life are washin' me away.

An old mail pouch, tobacco sign

fadin' on the barn,

bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm/

When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road.

Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around,

but that was years ago.

I'd better change my wandrin ways,

I know I've seen my better days,

always gettin' high when I get low.

Well, I left my soul out in the rain,

Lord, what a price I've had to pay.

The storms of life are washin' me away.

Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away.
