[Verse 1]
G D
He got the scars of fire burning down his legs

That’s alright he don’t use em anyway

He got a two dollar bill from ma

Cause he’s still her man just the same
G
Just the same, lo-de-lo

She drives him to work on weekdays
G D
Takes some pills and she lies around the place
G D
Waiting for Y & R to begin
G D G
She runs to the store for Sonomas and gin

[Chorus]
C Bb Am
And though it’s been years since the accident

To her front door and found themm inside

Somehow little Johnny survived

Through flames the paramedics heard his cries

Day in day out it picks her apart
G D G
She’d send him away if she ever found the heart

[Chorus]
C Bb Am
And though it’s been years since the accident
G
He’s still her man
C G A
Since the day that she followed the ambulance
D C G
To her front door and loaded them inside
A
That mama cried
[Outro]
G A
So she’ll push him around for the rest of his life
D G
Though he can’t say a word in return
G A
A sick man’s mother, a dead man’s wife
D G
She’s long out of lessons to learn
A D G
