Intro C Verse C We were driving back from the country one night Am7 Mom and Dad up the front, the rest of us snug and tight C My kid brother grumbled for a little minute Am7 And my big sister said he better quit it or die Verse F It had been a long day in the countryside Dm7 Playing with the cousins on my mother?s side C The sound of the radio closed our eyes G Am7 Drifting across the sea, then I fell asleep Verse C Well, I don?t know what woke me up Am7 Maybe a country song or a big truck passing by C I could hear Mama and Papa talk Am7 Papa said something and Mama began to cry Verse F No more words then, just soft sobs Dm7 And my head began to throb C I just lay there playing dog G Am7 F Breathing slow and deep, they thought I was asleep G Am7 They thought I was asleep Instrumental C Am7 C Am7 F Dm7 C G Am7 Verse C It seemed like forever till the sobbing stopped Am7 Then they talked for a little, but just too soft to hear C Daddy kept looking to the side of her face Am7 One hand on the wheel, the other one stroking her hair Verse F Headlights shining from the other way Dm7 Showed tears on the cheeks of Daddy?s face C I prayed for Jesus to send his grace G Am7 F And all our souls to keep, back then I believed it G Am7 F They thought I was asleep G Am7 F The night was dark and deep G Am7 F I wish I was asleep G Am7 How I wish I was asleep Outro F G Am7 F G Am7 F G Am7 x2
