verse 1 

         C                       G 
She was a hot blooded woman, he never saw it comin' 
    Am                           F 
She hit him from the side that's blind 
      C                       G 
She never gave a warning, he woke up in the morning 
Am                        F 
laying there next to his Bride 
    C                           G 
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby 
          Am                          F 
cause it filled him with a fatherly pride 
        C                            G 
But a couple years later when their love started fadin' 
   Am                      F 
he hurt so bad he nearly died 


           C         G              Am          F 
It's been a long time, since I was faithful 
           C         G              Am          F 
It's been a long time, since I was grateful 
           C         G               Am              F 
It's been a long time, since I could look you in the eye 
           C         G              Am          F 
It's been a long time, since I was grateful 


verse 2 

She's a mother with a daughter, sittin' by the water 
cause it's better for her baby to breathe 
She got a man that's in prison cause he didn't wanna listen 
Now he's sittin' waiting on a reprieve 
And she loves her lil' baby but she get’s a lil' crazy 
cause it's harder than she ever conceived 
He left her on her own, but she's doin' it alone 
cause she loves him like you wouldn't believe 

Chorus 

verse 3 

He's a friend and a lover, husband and a brother 
He's always been a prodigal son 
He gets a lot of drama when he goes to see his mama 
cause he curses like a son of a gun 
He's beggin' to his lady, let him see his baby 
He swears that she's the only one 
He's got a heart full of sorrow, he's livin' for tomorrow 
and he's sorry for the damage he's done 

Chorus - repeat x2
