D5 
There's a dirty piece of cardboard 
     G5 
that reads Montgomery Ward 
A5                        D5 
taped across the window of my old Ford. 
                                  G5 
A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings, 
A5                                                  D5    D5       
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing 
 

G5 
I'd better change my wandrin ways, 
D5 
I know I've seen my better days, 
A5                              D5    D5   
always gettin' high when I get low. 
        G5 
Well, I left my soul out in the rain, 
D5 
Lord, what a price I've had to pay. 
A5                                 D5     
The storms of life are washin' me away. 
 
 
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign 
fadin' on the barn, 
bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm/ 
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road. 
Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around, 
but that was years ago. 
 
I'd better change my wandrin ways, 
I know I've seen my better days, 
always gettin' high when I get low. 
Well, I left my soul out in the rain, 
Lord, what a price I've had to pay. 
The storms of life are washin' me away. 
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away.
