Solid Gone

G
I was young when I got married, 
young when we had kids
G                  C
Young when mom got sick and moved in
G
Dads gone, to that cancer song


G
Before my dad died, he left me his 
.22
G                          C
A winchester rifle, it was his dads 
to
G
Now its mine, my how time flies


G
I  pay our rent by cleaning, the 
offices in town
G                                
We live on a bad side, where the 
C
police don’t come round
G
It aint safe, but I can’t move us 
out


G
The bills they stack up, in the 
mailbox outside
G                           C
Mostly from hospital, from before 
dad died
G
And the rest were past due and 
shutoff dates

G
Well the new guy on the job, talked 
me in on my way down
G                            C
We go half on some weight, I pay 
some bills we both get out
G
He’d front it too, what would you do


G
I started selling to some old 
friends, gave some to granny Ruth.
G                               C
She’s sick with cancer, same as dads
 it helps her through
G
I paid some bills off, was getting 
out
G
Then I hear this crashing, outside 
my house


G
These men came running at my maw 
maw, running at my wife
G                                
my daughter started screaming, I 
C
feared for their life
G
weapon drawn, I had not known


G
The men who tore off my lock, and 
broken down my door
G                            
And threatened my family, were 
     C
officers of the law
G
Darkened rooms, how could I have 
known
G
Such a terror, inside my home

G                         C


G
Nine years to twenty, what have I 
done
G                       C
Nine years to twenty, intent and a 
gun
G
To my family, what have I done
G
For my family, what have I done


G
Before my dad died, he left me his 
22
G                             C
Look over your family son, do what 
you need to
G
Dad’s gone, now I’m solid gone
G                         D      
But we always done, what needed to 
G
be done.
