{D} 
Johnny was a football star 
    {G} 
And he went out and wrote off his car 
{Bm}                        {G} 
With his girlfriend in the driveway 
{D} 
Baylee's mum didn't trust that boy 
{G} 
'Cause he was born in Illinois 
{Bm}                                G 
Them northern boys, they drive me crazy 
D 
Johnny was gonna be a mountaineer 
G 
And move away far from here 
Bm                       G 
Wanted to play for Indianapolis 
D 
Johnny told her years before 
G 
If he ever met Heavens door 
Bm               G 
Remember what I told you 
 

 
D 
Baylee, dont you cry for me 
G 
Youll find better love, youll see 
Bm                           G    A

D 
Elroy was a hell-bent cowboy 
G 
Soldier who never got a deploy 
Bm                     G 
Hung up bad in the bareback 
D 
Baylee was in the nosebleed stands 
G 
Watching medics trembling hands 
Bm                   G 
As they started on CPR 
{D} 
She ran down and held him close 
{G} 
Like the first time she overdosed 
{Bm}                                {G} 
Trying to get the hang-ups off her mind 
{D} 
As the white blanket seemed to stay 
{G} 
Sorry, maam, hes passed away 
{Bm}                        G     A 
She remembers those crying times

G 
Youll find better love, youll see

D 
The days will fly on by 
    G 
And youll forget about me in time 
Bm                          G   A 
I hope that life treats you well

D 
Shed take another swig at sixty-four 
G 
Like she did twenty years before 
Bm                          G 
After the last one left her broken 
D 
And they say lifes a gift, you swear 
G 
But shes lost more than the country fair 
Bm                                   G 
She learned that love just aint her life 
D 
So to her two kids she said 
G 
Lying on her double-wide trailer deathbed 
Bm                                 G     A 
Hope you never have to live these words 
 

 
D 
Baylee, dont you cry for me 
G 
Youll find better love, youll see 
Bm                           G    A 
Save those tears for someone else 
D 
The days will fly on by 
    G 
And youll forget about me in time 
Bm                          G   A 
I hope that life treats you well
