Has At Least One Good Story To Tell

But Alan Delaney Had Two

CmOne's A Story About A Woman Who Loved Him

CmBut Couldn't Forget Them Bright Lights
CmGod That Made Him Sad
CmThe Others A Story About Tryin' To Be An Honest Man
CmAnd That Killed Him.

CmYou See Alan Delaney Pushed A Steering Wheel
CmUp And Down The West Coast
CmThat Is Until The Local Four Nineteen Moved In
CmBaaad Buncha Pirates

CmSeein's How Alan Owned His Own Rig
CmThey Talked To Him About Carrying These Little Bundles
CmFrom San Francisco To Vancouver
CmWell He Knew They Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
CmSo He Decided It Was Time To Relocate
CmWaaay Up In The Interior Of British Columbia

(Sung)
CmWell They Coaxed That Old Chrysler Three More Miles
CmAnd They Drifted Into Mont Branch(?) At Ten
CmUnpacked The Kids Fourteen Bags Of Groceries
CmAnd Gently Carried Mary Jane In

CmMary Jane Turned Off The Radio Made Herself A Coffee
CmAnd Sat There Pickin' At The Linoleum
CmShe Realized She Wasn't Pinin' For The City Any Longer
CmAlan Had Made Her And The Boys A Good Home Out Here In The Mountains
CmAnd She Agreed That When He Came Home That Night She'd Tell Him
CmBut Just As It's Written
CmWhen One Door Opens Another Closes

(Sung)
CmThe Scars On The Pavement Shows The Point Of Entry
CmHe Had Chosen The Hard Way To The Valley Floor
CmAnd As Those Cedars Ricochetted Off The Reo's Fenders
CmHe Took A Breath And Crossed Himself And Thought Of Her Once More
