[VERSE 1]
Cadd9 G D Em7
Well she’s wide awake at 6 in the morning
Cadd9 G D Em7
And in the evening she hits the bar
Cadd9 G D Em7
He’s a land man for someone in Baytown

He makes the big bucks and drives a nice car

[VERSE 2]
Cadd9 G D Em7
Well they met through some classes at the big school in Austin
Cadd9 G D Em7
She dropped out first year but he finished them all
Cadd9 G D Em7
They married one Sunday in a church she grew up in
Cadd9 G D Em7
Things fell apart like the trees in the fall
[CHORUS]
Cadd9 G D Em7
No she can’t escape him the trouble she’s found here
Cadd9 G D
She knows the devil’s first name
Cadd9 G D Em7
Well he’s living out somewhere on the outskirts of Houston
Cadd9 G D Em7
And she’s running with no one to blame
[VERSE 3]
Cadd9 G D Em7
She's a smoker their both drinkers, When she’s singin’ you listen
Cadd9 G D Em7
They made love passionately and often
Cadd9 G D Em7
But he’s a mean one well he answers to no one
Cadd9 G D Em7
He's a different person then he was out in Austin
[CHORUS]
Cadd9 G D Em7
No she can’t escape him the trouble she’s found here

Cadd9 G D Em7
And she’s running with no one to blame

Cadd9 G D Em7
They were fighting all weekend, she says I’m leaving
Cadd9 G D Em7
She grabs her car keys but he’s blocking the door
Cadd9 G D Em7
She woke in a white room with strangers around her
Cadd9 G D Em7
One of them whispers he can’t hurt you no more
[CHORUS]
Cadd9 G D Em7
No she can’t escape him the trouble she’s found here
Cadd9 G D
She knows the devil’s first name
Cadd9 G D Em7
Well he’s living out somewhere on the outskirts of Houston
Cadd9 G D Em7
And she’s running with no one to blame
