Walking Papers

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

          C                    G
All those threats I made about leavin'
C           D          G
Suddenly be came reali ty
    C                             G        Em
She released me from my death row sentence
               A7             D7          G
And said we'll sign the final 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                           D7
For I had escaped that prison of a home
     C       D           G
But, sittin' in this old tavern
    C             D           G
Sur rounded by my good timing friends
  C              D              G       Em
I see I'll never make it on the outside
        A7                     D7               G
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how I'm gonna break back in

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

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

           C  D           G
She handed me the walking papers
