I never thought I'd see the day
C D G
That she'd set me free
C G Em
Cause you know that little ring on her finger
A7 D7
Always felt like a ball and chain to me
C G
All those threats I made about leavin'
C D G
Suddenly be came reali ty
C G Em
She released me from my death row sentence
A7 D7 G
And said we'll sign the final papers in a week
C D G
She handed me the walking papers
C D G
And said you're free to go
C D G
And cele brating felt in order
A7 D7
For I had escaped that prison of a home
C D G
But, sittin' in this old tavern
C D G
Sur rounded by my good timing friends
C D G Em
I see I'll never make it on the outside
A7 D7 G
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how I'm gonna break back in
C G
Daylight found me sleepin' in my car
C D G
On the other side of her street
C G Em
And the grass that used to be my front yard
A7 D7
Had never before looked so green
C G
And I'm tempted to break for that front door
C D G
But, I'm sure she'd sic the dogs on me
C G Em
Cause it looks like she's got a new inmate
A7 D7 G
Cause there's a pickup in the drive I've never seen
C D G
She handed me the walking papers
C D G
And said you're free to go
C D G
And cele brating felt in order
A7 D7
For I had escaped that prison of a home
C D G
But, sittin' in this old tavern
C D G
