• D

D                                G                   D 
IT?S BEEN FIFTEEN SOME?ODD YEARS SINCE HE LOST AUNT LIL 
                                         A                   A7 
HE PLAYS RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MEMORIES, NOTHING BUT TIME TO KILL 
D                                G                      D 
HE?S TOO OLD TO WORK HIS CATTLE, TOO STUBBORN TO STAY IN BED 
                            A                        D 
EACH MORNING OVER COFFEE HE TURNS TO HER PICTURE AND SAYS, 

             G                 D 
OH I?VE BEEN BETTER, I?VE BEEN WORSE A TIME OR TWO 
D        A                             D               D7 
I GOT?..TWO BLOODSHOT EYES AND THAT?S ENOUGH TO SEE ME THROUGH 
G                   D 
FAIR TO MIDDLIN??.. CONSIDERING, 
A             G         D 
LIFE?S MOSTLY SCARS AND SOUVENIRS 
 
 
THERE?S WRINKLES ON HIS FACE AND WRINKLES ON HIS CLOTHES 
 
HE WEARS A LITTLE THINNER AS EACH DAY UNFOLDS 
 
HE SWEARS HE?LL LIVE FOREVER JUST TO SPITE HIS HEALTH 
 
BUT IT TAKES CHRISTIAN BROTHERS BRANDY TO REASSURE HIMSELF 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
A PICTURES WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS AND MONEY EARNED IS MONEY SPENT 
 
BLESS US OH LORD FOR THESE THY GIFTS, I KNOW NOT WHERE THEY WENT 
 
NOW THE POSTMAN BRINGS HIS PENSION AND THE COUNTY BRINGS HIS MEALS 
 
AND I DROP BY FROM TIME TO TIME JUST TO ASK HIM HOW HE FEELS 
 
 
CHORUS-REPEAT LAST LINE
