(Reid Cain 2012)
Capo 1
[Am] This old heart, is [G] beaten but not [Am] broken
These old scars, they show I don't back down
it's my time, to stand up and be counted
it's my chance, to turn it all around
Capo 1
[F] Now the wolves are [C] circling in the [G] darkness
closing in just outside the flames
they smell blood but in their eyes I see weakness
[F] For they know this old [G] dog won't back [Am] down
Am- C
This old mind, got books of words unspoken
These old eyes, have seen a lot of strife
it's my time, to get up and start living
it's my chance, to get it turned around
Now the man, who writes the blacklist knows about me
he's heard tales, and I'm sad to say they're true
but it's my time, to stand up and be counted
it's my chance, to turn it all around

Intro [Em-D]
[D] They buried him down near [G] Southwood road last [D] week
Near the old oak tree that [G] hangs over Southwood [D] Creek
now [C] don't go crying for Mrs. [Em] Jackson's loss
She [C] put him under [Em] neath that cross
for [C] all the hard times, the [G] black eyes, and a broken [D] heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part [D7]
They had a nice little place on the edge of town
said they were planning to raise some kids and settle down
but things were getting bad behind closed doors
and what finally made her snap no one really knows
some say the hard times, the black eyes and a broken heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part

Am-G-Em-G...
Em-D
[D] They buried him down near [G] Southwood road last [D] week
Near the old oak tree that [G] hangs over Southwood [D] Creek
if you want to hear more of Mrs. Jackson's tale
you can go find her there at the old county jail
doing hard time free of black eyes and a broken heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part

(Reid Cain 2010)
Capo 1
[A] It's a long way up
then a [G] short and painful [A] fall
but a man will lose it all
if he don't stand straight and tall
in that [F] river of [G] love I'm just a [A] stone
Now I see the ways
I'd been digging my own grave
you had me living like a slave
check to check, and day by day
finally free of your ball and chain
CH
[G] This chapters done gonna turn the page on this... [D] tragedy
[G] Burn that book pick the pieces up of what's [D] left of me
though [C] I don't believe, I've ever [G] felt so free... [one strike D]
Break:
Now I have the time
to focus on my life
try to make it worth a dime
take what's wrong and make it right
Feels so good to be moving on

Old Days

|
(R. Cain 2010)
[C] say good bye to the [F] old days [C] honey
greet the new day [G] with a [C] smile
from now on its [F] coming up [C] aces
[G] sunny days and [F] clear blue [C] skies
say good bye to the days you felt lonely
say hello to a brand new life
Break it down then build it up stronger
we'll spread our wings and finally take flight
CH:
[Am] No one [G] said that this was gonna be [C] easy
Love takes work but its worth the time
Learn from the past with an eye on the future
Paint the bigger picture of our lives
Standing here at the top of this mountain
looking down on the valley below
thinking back on the path we followed
Grateful I didn't walk alone

(R. Cain 2010)
¾ time capo 2
[C] taking turns at the wheel, driving all [G] night
[G] spinning the radio dial, there nothing to [C] find
Its an awfully long journey back home but is worth every mile
seeing the house where I grew up sure makes me smile
[Am] Home [G] sweet [C] home, [F] down in the [C] valley, [G] that little old [C] town
Break
My folks still live out in a place where you can see the stars
away from the lights of this city and these small fenced in yards
We'll sit on the porch and we'll talk of the places we been
its so nice to back there in the valley again
Home sweet home, down in the valley, that little old town

(Hayley Thomas 2012)
capo 1
[Em] Well, I've always been a wayward pony as [G] wild as the nights are [D] long
Don't [Em] put much faith in matrimony cause I [G don't plan to [D] stay [Em] around
You can pen me in with the others, but I'm [G] smarter than you [D] think
You [Em] can lead this pony to water but you [G] can't make this [D] pony [Em] drink
CH1: D A E Am
[G] Babe I was born to roam, [D] you know how this story goes
[Am] Man wants what he can't have and when he get it he don't
know quite what to do, now listen boy it's true
when you open up your eyes, I'll be... Long gone.
-break verse
Well, I've always been a wayward pony as wild as the sun is high
we'll go for a ride but you don't own me, no I don't plan to stay the night
When I go running across that meadow know my heart is running wild
I think of you and though it's a pity, I ain't gonna miss child
CH1
CH2
God's kingdom is our home, you know how that story goes,
many want what they can't have and when they get it they don't
know quite what to do, never had or known the rules
and when they open up their eyes life is long gone

(R. Cain 2010)
capo 2
[C] I've always been a different, some say a little strange
standing on the outside trying to see in
but [F] I don't play [G] by the rules I've been [C] given
[F] Fall into line ain't [G] what I call [C] livin'
I've had to make changes to stay in the game
but I think they prefer everyone sounds the same
I don't want to part of that business
with all them clones driving all the decisions
[Am] I just want to pick up and [G] play this beat up old [C] guitar
telling stories about my life and where I been so far
Harlan said it's three chords and the truth
Here I am, living proof
Now we're pushing the boundaries, and leading the way
trying to make a little difference each and everyday
some say that we're fools or flat out dated
But I won't give up my faith in real country music

This Time

|
(R. Cain 2010)
[Am] When the silence [F] starts I know your [C] leaving
[Am] though I know [F] you got a lot to [C] say
when you drive I off I have the feeling
that you might not be back [G] again
CH:
then I tell my self I'm wrong this [C] time
this time [F], this time [G],
I tell myself I'm wrong this [C] time
Lately its a fragile bridge between us
This kind of love won't pull us through
you won't calm down and I won't listen
We'll never hear each others point of [G] view
When I sleep I dream of sunshine
but I wake up to stormy skies
Its hard to see when you've been blinded
to the shattered look in a lovers eyes

Desolation

(R. Cain 2010)
capo 2
[A] That spring it started [D] hot as I re [A] call
I got laid off down [D] at the hardware [A] store
said folks don't come by [D] like the good old days
They just hit the box store [G] off the new highway
And I [C] know they [D] say
It's the [C] modern [D] way
And [C] things have gone to [D] far to turn back [A] now
That [G] year deso [D] lation came to [A] town
The summer never cooled and the lakes all dried
and the crops all starved in perfect little lines
And the farmers they all started looking lean
but the grass in L.A. sure stayed nice and green
Now the state it had her put in just last year
with that highway you don't have to come round here
just drive on through what once were planted fields
then hit the box store I hear they got some deals

For Me
04:30
|

|
(Reid Cain 2011)
[C] There's a heart
and its [Em] lonely
there's a clock
turning slowly
there's the bed
cold and empty
...[D] and the walls, and the [C] bars, [G] for me
There's a man
in a prison
for a crime
he won't deny
freedom
he hardly remembers
...[D] behind the walls, and the [C] bars, [G] for me
There's a wife
now six feet under
There's a boy
left without a home
and the days
stretch on forever
...[D] behind the walls, and the [C] bars, [G] for me
