Desperate Man

• D

D  
I WAS BORN IN THE DUST OF A DRUNK MAN'S LUST 
                            A 
WHERE HIS TEARS RUSTED SHUT HEART TO MIND 
        D 
CHASIN' WHISKEY WITH FREIGHT TRAINS 
  G                       D            A           D 
I FOLLOWED HIM DOWN FOR A LOVE THAT WE NEVER COULD FIND 
 
HE WAS ALREADY GONE WHEN I TOOK TO WALKIN 
SO I HITCHED UP THE WIND FOR A RIDE 
IN THOSE WILD WHIRL WIND DAYS, I RODE SOME DARKER HORSES 
FOR A LOVE THAT I NEVER DID FIND 
 

G                   D 
BUT IT DON'T MAKE A DAMN 
                                        A 
WHERE I'VE BEEN DON'T MEAN THAT'S WHO I AM 
G 
MY HEART'S STILL STRONG 
      D 
NOW I UNDERSTAND 
                A              D  G D 
LOVE COMES HARD TO A DESPERATE MAN 
 
I LEFT THE ARMY BACK IN 1989 
FELL IN LOVE WITH ONE OF THOSE HIGHWAY GIRLS 
WITH HER BLACK HAIR AND DARK EYES, I TRIED TO MAKE HER MINE 
THOUGHT TOGETHER WE COULD SURE ENOUGH BEAT THE WORLD 
 
BUT SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE THEY MISUSED HER 
AND IT ROLLED HER UP CRAZY IN HER MIND 
SHE BUILT A PRISON DOWN INSIDE HER 
ONE MORE LOVE THAT I NEVER COULD FIND 
 
CHORUS 2X
