She was a hard, hard woman with a pilgrim soul,
D
Had a face all lined from I don’t know

Where she has been,
G
But now she’s here with me.

We headed North on 29 through Kansas City,
4th of July.

In the late night fog,
G
There were fireworks to see.
[CHORUS]

And though it burns, you don’t fear the hurt,

We were all hopped up on kerosene,
D
Or something else that burns, it seemed
C
That we would never

Forgot the words I used to say,
C
When I was young,
G
Each night ‘fore I laid down.
