A lovely song by Owen Ashworth.
Intro: G
Verse 1:
G
We got married in September
C
The baby came the next December
D
So I got off the road
C
It's the longest I've been home
G
since I remember
G
I wake up earlier these days
C
to dress the kid & fix her eggs
D
Then we'll walk down to the park
C
if it's nice out
G
There's a swing set where she plays
Chorus:
C G
I'm not out looking for something
D G
I haven't found
C G
You won't see me around
D
I've got a family now
Verse 2:
G
I used to drive all night no stopping
C
like a Batman with no Robin
D
& then sometime around dawn
C
I'd wake up with my seatbelt on
G
to some cop knocking
G
I've seen a lot of wrecks & burnouts
C
& nights the crowds just didn't turn out
D
& I've drunk myself so ill
C
& nearly got myself killed
G
more times than I would care to count
Chorus
Instrumental: G C D C G (x2)
Verse 3:
G
I watched The Exorcist again
C
& recognized Kitty Winn
D
from The Panic At Needle Park
C
with Al Pacino
G
She played his girlfriend
G
It felt like seeing an old friend
C
the way I wondered where she'd been
D
As I sat & pet the cat
C
with my wife's head on my lap
G
on the sofa in the den
Chorus
End on G
