Am G
Well, the rain was a-falling and the ground turned to mud
Am D
I was watching all the people running from the flood
Am G
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin' man
Em Am Em Am
For the Lord to come a helpin' knowing he'd understand
G D/F# Em
Deliver your children to the good good life
C G/B Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
G D/F# Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
G D/F# Em C G/B Am
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right
Am G
Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
Am D
She spent all day with the washing machine
Am G
But when it came to lovin' she was never around
Em Am Em Am
She was out getting dirty all over town
Dm C
Well, I was low on money and my truck broke down
Dm G
I was on my way to the lost and found
Dm C
So I took it to a dealer, I said make it run
Am Dm Am Dm
Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun
Dm C
I said you robbed me before so I'm robbing you back
Dm G
And if it don't put you straight it'll put you on the right track
Dm C
Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint
Am Dm Am Dm
But I can tell a dealer by the color of his paint
G D/F# Em
Deliver your children to the good good life
C G/B Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
G D/F# Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
G D/F# Em C G/B Am
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right
[Solo] Am G Am D
Am G Em Am
Em Am
G D/F# Em
Deliver your children to the good good life
C G/B Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
G D/F# Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
G D/F# Em C G/B Am
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right
Am G
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
Em Am
And if you wanna hear some more
Em Am
Well, I'll sing it again
