  Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:
G                                 
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an'
    D
 tears
A               Em7
  She's waited on every creed an' 
color,
       G                        
While waitin' on this day to get 
   A
here

[Pre-Chorus]
          Em
Graveyard shifts, two bit tips,
         A
Makin' every quarter count,
                Em7
Was worth it all to see her son,
        A
In that cap an' gown

[Chorus]
D
There are times in life when you 
gotta crawl,
G
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
     G/B
When you can't lean on no-one else:
A
  That's when you find yourself
G    D
I've been around and I've noticed 
that
   G
Walkin's easy when the road is flat
      G/B                       
Them danged ol' hills'll get you 
         C
every time
Continues after the ad
                Em        
Yeah the good Lord gave us 
          A
mountains,
                        D      G  D
So we could learn how to climb

  Private Bobby Dunn came back from 
the war
G                                 
Lost his leg but they couldn't 
        D  G D
take his will
A                Em7
  Hell bent to run in that local 
marathon
G                                 
He trained through the endless 
         A
pain an' pills

[Pre-Chorus]
           Em
It hurt so bad that sometimes
A
He just had to cry
          Em7
He didn't stop until he crossed
        A
That finish line

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
A
  This world ain't fair
         G
It can knock you on your butt
C                      G
  You can just lie there
            A
Or you can get back up
                      D  G G/B A
You gotta get back up
