But Alan Delaney Had Two

(Spoken)
AmOne's A Story About A Woman Who Loved Him
AmAnd Gave Him Two Sons
AmBut Couldn't Forget Them Bright Lights
AmGod That Made Him Sad
AmThe Others A Story About Tryin' To Be An Honest Man
AmAnd That Killed Him.

AmYou See Alan Delaney Pushed A Steering Wheel
AmUp And Down The West Coast
AmThat Is Until The Local Four Nineteen Moved In
AmBaaad Buncha Pirates

AmSeein's How Alan Owned His Own Rig
AmThey Talked To Him About Carrying These Little Bundles
AmFrom San Francisco To Vancouver
AmWell He Knew They Wouldn't Take No For An Answer
AmSo He Decided It Was Time To Relocate
AmWaaay Up In The Interior Of British Columbia

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

AmMary Jane's Sure She's Gonna Have A Girl This Time
AmAnd Old Flat Rate's Bound To Sell Him That Detroit Diesel
AmThings Were Aces For Alan Delaney

(Sung)
AmAnd Then Last Years Model A Nineteen Thirty Two Coupé
AmHit Him At The Runaway
AmThrew A Whisky Bottle
AmWhisky Bottle Full Of Gas
AmExploded As He Hit The Pass
AmAnd At Sixty-Five He Didn't Like His Luck

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

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