Tonart: F major•
Verse 1
F
He drinks orange juice and vodka
In the basement while she's talking
To someone long distance
C
For hours and hours on end
And as he's slowly sippin'
He thinks about his children
And the heart attacks
F
that youngest daughter's always giving him
Verse 2
F
He ain't smoked no marijuana
Since he got on with the railroad
And he's been on with the railroad
Bb
For a long and lonesome lonesome while
But the day that he retires
F
He'll smoke himself to China
C
He'll leave behind his worries
F
As he's racing through the sky
Chorus 1
Bb
F
The days are dark down in the holler
C
F
Waitin' for the sun to shine
Bb
F
On the back you have been breakin'
C
F
Tryin' to earn peace of mind
Verse 3
F
She sells Avon to her buddies
And saves a little money
On the makeup she's been usin'
And she sits and watches TV
Usually every evening
If there ain't some kind of ballgame
F
That her daughter has to cheer
Verse 4
F
She sneaks menthols in the mornin'
While her family's still snorin'
And as she burns the Eggo's
Bb
She looks back at her life
That heart she broke in high school
F
He's singing on the Opry
C
She wonders what the hell
F
that she was thinkin' at the time
Chorus 2

On the back you have been breakin'

Verse 5
F
Their youngest daughter Stella
She's running with this fella
That he cannot stand the thought of
C
That he surely does despise
He's told her he best never
See the two of them together
But it's hard to keep an eye on her
F
When you're workin' all the time
Verse 6
F
There are things he needs to tend to
And the bills the bank keeps sendin'
Lord, the zeros on the end
Bb
Keep pushing further to the right
Like a freight train haulin' sorrow
C
Through the tunnel of forever
F
To the never endin' light
