Has At Least One Good Story To Tell

But Alan Delaney Had Two

(Spoken)
DmOne's A Story About A Woman Who Loved Him
DmAnd Gave Him Two Sons
DmBut Couldn't Forget Them Bright Lights
DmGod That Made Him Sad
DmThe Others A Story About Tryin' To Be An Honest Man
DmAnd That Killed Him.

DmYou See Alan Delaney Pushed A Steering Wheel
DmUp And Down The West Coast
DmThat Is Until The Local Four Nineteen Moved In
DmBaaad Buncha Pirates

DmSeein's How Alan Owned His Own Rig
DmThey Talked To Him About Carrying These Little Bundles
DmFrom San Francisco To Vancouver
DmWell He Knew They Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
DmSo He Decided It Was Time To Relocate
DmWaaay Up In The Interior Of British Columbia

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

Verse 3
(Spoken)
DmMary Jane Turned Off The Radio Made Herself A Coffee
DmAnd Sat There Pickin' At The Linoleum
DmShe Realized She Wasn't Pinin' For The City Any Longer
DmAlan Had Made Her And The Boys A Good Home Out Here In The Mountains
DmAnd She Agreed That When He Came Home That Night She'd Tell Him
DmBut Just As It's Written
DmWhen One Door Opens Another Closes

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