There's a dirty piece of cardboard 
     G 
that reads Montgomery Ward 
A                        D 
taped across the window of my old Ford. 
                                  G 
A six-pack on the front seat and a box of chicken wings, 
A                                                  D    D7       
I'm dialin' 'cross the radio for a song that I can sing 
 
G 
I'd better change my wandrin ways, 
D 
I know I've seen my better days, 
A                              D    D7   
always gettin' high when I get low. 
        G 
Well, I left my soul out in the rain, 
D 
Lord, what a price I've had to pay. 
A                                 D     
The storms of life are washin' me away. 
 
 
An old mail pouch, tobacco sign 
fadin' on the barn, 
bringin' back sweet memories of Mama's farm/ 
When love was just a country girl that lived on down the road. 
Spoken: you know, she almost had me turned around, 
but that was years ago. 
 
I'd better change my wandrin ways, 
I know I've seen my better days, 
always gettin' high when I get low. 
Well, I left my soul out in the rain, 
Lord, what a price I've had to pay. 
The storms of life are washin' me away. 
Yeah, the storms of life are washin' me away.
