Biography:
Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.
The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

Good Lord Lorrie
By Turnpike Troubadours
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
G Em C G C G
With her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the place
G Em C G
Then she told me that she loved me and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said I know
G Em C G
Lets get from here now darlin' if we're goin' lets go on and go
G Em C G twice
G Em C G
Well Lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like they do
G Em C G
But your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you
G Em C G
And if I ever set foot in Sevier County well your brother said he'd break my jaw
G Em C G
Here I stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest Arkansas
[Chorus]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
C C/B Am G
It's just a part of life for you and me
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been livin' with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
C C/B Am D
It's just another phase of being free
Am C
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G Em C G G Em C G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Well D-Queens dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
G Em C G
Lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes
G Em C G
And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid I suppose
G Em C G
You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
[Chorus]
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
C C/B Am G
It's just a part of life for you and me
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
And I've been livin' with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones I guess
C C/B Am D
It's just another phase of being free
Am C
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well good lord Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G Em C G G Em C G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
Harmonica
[Verse 3]
G Em C G
Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
G Em C G
You ain't half of who I thought you was and this ain't fun no more
G Em C G
And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light
G Em C G
Well I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight
G C G C G
Guess her folks were right, guess her folks were right
C
Mhmmm
G G/F# Em D C
Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
G G/F# Em D C
Well goodnight Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong
Am G
La, da, da, da, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da
