Walking Papers

I never thought I'd see the day
     C     D      G
That she'd set me free
          C                        
Cause you know that little ring on 
    G      Em
her finger
       A7                          
Always felt like a ball and chain 
  D7
to me

          C                   
All those threats I made about 
 G
leavin'
C           D          G
Suddenly be came reali ty
    C                             
She released me from my death row 
G        Em
sentence
               A7             D7  
And said we'll sign the final 
        G
papers in a week

           C  D           G
She handed me the walking papers
    C    D              G
And said you're free to go
         C       D       G
And cele brating felt in order
      A7                           
For I had escaped that prison of a 
D7
home
     C       D           G
But, sittin' in this old tavern
    C             D         
Sur rounded by my good timing 
  G
friends
  C              D            
I see I'll never make it on the 
  G       Em
outside
        A7                     D7 
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how I'm 
              G
gonna break back in

Daylight found me sleepin' in my car
       C     D           G
On the other side of her street
        C                       
And the grass that used to be my 
 G          Em
front yard
    A7                     D7
Had never before looked so green

        C                         
And I'm tempted to break for that 
G
front door
         C          D             
But, I'm sure she'd sic the dogs 
  G
on me
         C                         
Cause it looks like she's got a new
 G      Em
 inmate
                A7            D7  
Cause there's a pickup in the 
             G
drive I've never seen

           C  D           G
She handed me the walking papers
