C G C G 
Verse
CThe door was open I was Gseething
CYour mother burst in it was Ffreezing

CYou said keep talking but don't use Gany names C

I Fscolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked C 
FAnd we've all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked C G 
Verse
CIt felt like four in the Gmorning
CWhat sounded like fireFworks
CTurned out to be just what Git Cwas
CThe stars looked like Gdiamonds
CThen came the sirens F 
CAnd everyone started Gto Ccuss

FAll the noise was disturbing
And I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations on at the Csame time
FAnd then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the Crum G

Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack C G

CEverything's in storage F 
CCalvin's right I should go Gback to driving Ctruck
