Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night

Damn
                   E11/B
I must have passed out
B4/E                                     A
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
           C6
We are broke
Damn
               E11/B
I gotta get my ass out
           B4/E
I went to see what my friend was talking about

Drugs
   A
He told me cocaine would get you clout
C6/E
My momma said hes trouble and schools my route
         E11/B
But I went to high school and got kicked out
       E11/B
So Im driving this truck down the 95
  A
I pray to God I make it home alive
C6                 E11/B

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You dont see my face no more
Im a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you dont want me to go but I have to
Please dont weep
I love you

( B4/E  A  C/G  E11/B )
I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where Im from
Im a provider girl
And I love you
So its just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I dont need a ticket though I never got one
If he pulls me over
He can feel my shotgun
I think about life pull down my hat
Its just like this road I dont know where Im at
I dont want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

BM7                             F#m
Someday, Someday, this will be over
              BM7
Well raise a family
                              F#m
Ill get a job and Ill be a voter
         Am7
And if I die
          E11/B
It will change you
              BM7
I watch over a family
              E11/B
But only as an angel

(B4/E, A,C6, E11/B)
So dont tell me you dont know what you see
When youre looking at a motherfucker just like me
Im a provider girl
I said dont tell me you dont know what you see
When youre looking at a motherfucker just like me
Im a rider girl

I love you girl
Im doing this for us
I dont know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
