[Verse 1]
Fm G F CMy old man bought a big bass boat
Fm G F CWhen I think of that summer of hope I choke
Fm G F CCause even if we didn’t catch a little bit of something
Fm G F CWe’d park that boat by the bluff at the days inn
Fm G F CI got a need to find trouble when things are alright,
Fm G F CI pine for pain in the morning light
Fm G F CAnd even with my baby sitting next to me
Fm G F FmI’m a self sabotaging suicide machine
[Chorus]
Fm G FAnd you’re going, going, going
FTil the Lord calls you home in,
G CYour work boots and your worn coveralls
Fm G FAnd you’ll show them, show them, show them
FWith your high collateral loan on
G CThat home where your children play with dolls

[Verse 2]
Fm G F CCause I was raised by a woman who was hardly impressed
Fm G F CAnd I carry that shit real deep in my chest
Fm G F CCause I ain’t ever been one for cheap excuses,
Fm G F CAnd apologies have always been a little late or useless
Fm G F CBut if you give me four minutes and a little ‘bit of time,
Fm G F CI’ll make them old days an old friend of mine
Fm G F CAnd I can talk to God and I can pray all day
Fm G F CBut you can’t heal something that you never raised
[Chorus]
Fm G FAnd you’re going, going, going
FOn Thanksgiving day
G Cwhen you’re sneaking off to drink some alcohol,
Fm G FAnd you’ll show them, show them, show them
FWhile you’re kissing all the knees of
G CEvery scrape and every bloody fall
[Instrumental]

Fm G F CWhen I think of that summer of hope I choke
Fm G F CCause even if we didn’t catch a little bit of something
Fm G F CWe’d park that boat by the bluff at the days end
