Am G F C
Driving with the day one blues
Am G F C
Just outside of Baton Rouge
Am G C F
Crying so hard I couldn’t see
G C
Wishing my baby was next to me
Am G F C
I said momma why’s it hurt so bad
C Am F G
Worst damn pain I ever had
Am G F
Why’s it feel the way it does?
G C
She said baby that’s just the price of love
[Chorus]
C F
Nothing good comes for free honey
C F
You’ve gotta pay your dues
C F G F
When you’ve got everything, you’ve got everything to lose
C F C F
Some people never find it, thank the Lord above
C F C
That you’ve got a heart, falling apart
G C F Am G
That’s just the price of love
[Verse]
Am G F C
Well this child’s gonna be the death of me
Am G F C
She’s taking everything that’s left of me
Am G C F
I’ve been sneaking in late just to watch her breathe
G
Watch that blanket rise and fall
Am G F C
Well she laughed and said that’s nothing new
Am G F G
When you were that age honey I did too
Am G F
Hell in my own way I still do
G
You’re my baby after all
[Chorus]
C F
Nothing good comes for free honey
C F
You’ve gotta pay your dues
C F G F
When you’ve got everything, you’ve got everything to lose
C F C F
Some people never find it, thank the Lord above
C F C
That you’ve got a heart, falling apart
G C F Am G
That’s just the price of love
