There's a girl I used to know about three broken hearts ago
I married her and left her in the dark _ _ _
Vicksburg has her now and I'm headed there somehow
For to see if I can kindle that old spark
_ _ She had that loosey and a scissor
[C] She had that [G] sleepy southern sass
_ I split the blanket down the middle
_ [Em] Since [D] then it's all been [C] downhill fast
_ [Em]
And I'm [D] looking forward [G] to the past
I'm a Mississippi man and a Conway Twitty fan
And I haven't heard a song I like in years
I drive a pulpwood truck and I'm making on this bus
And I'll be ready when my savior reappears
If you [C] wanna think I'm done and [G] lazy
_ Judge me entirely without class _
_ But if you knew how mama raised me
_ [Em] You'd [D] know it's you who [C] comes off crass
[Em] _
I'm [D] looking forward [G] to the past
_ [Em] You lives and learns can't renegotiate
The terms on a freakin' frackin' future [G] full of carbon copycrap
[Em] The stakes are through the roof but there's very little proof
We get fire, fresh food and water [D] somewhere out there off the [G] map
[Gm] Well _

I've cut my teeth on hurt and I've slung my share of dirt
And I blame myself for everything gone wrong
But what's done is done they say if there's hell we have to pay
I might admit I must have known it all along
_ _ [Dm] I don't [G] know two nickels from a quarter
I [C]
don't know my shirt down [G] from my ass _
_ This modern world's so out of order
_ [Em] I don't [D] know just how long [C] it can [Em] last _
But I'm [D] looking forward [G] to the past
[Em] _
_ [G] I'm [D] looking forward [G] to the past _ _ _ _
