Intro: G D C D 
 
Verse 1 
G                   D 
He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight 
       C 
He was home grown country 
           D 
She'd just pulled off the interstate 
    G                        D 
She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas 
        C                  D                   G        D   
She was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions 
      G                         D 
So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum 
        C                                       D 
He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from 
 
She said?(chorus)

Verse 2 G D First she stayed a day then she stayed a week C Couple of months later D They were living on his parent's street G D He worked the station and she worked the store C And then they had a baby and D G D Then they had one more little Jesse G D When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out C All the ladies had their questions D But knew not to ask about (Chorus) Verse 3 (same chords) Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church Stranger standin' in the doorway As they're passin' out the dessert He said go on and pack your bags Cause I'm here to take you home I'm goin' back to Louisiana And woman I ain't gonna go with out you There's a few defining moments in every person's life When you know what you've done wrong And you know what you've done right And before the congregation and her husband and her kids She says, "How dare you even speak to me After everything you did"...in That's another town, that's another life
