good lord lorrie
by turnpike troubadours

G Em C G
lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
G Em C G C G
with her black hair brown from the summer sun , green eyes looked around the place
G Em C G
then she told me that she loved me and i grinned and grabbed her hand and said i know
G Em C G
lets get from here now darlin’ if we’re goin’ lets go on and go

G Em C G twice

well lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like they do
but your Daddy don’t think i’m fit to sit in the same room with you
and if i ever set foot in sevier county well your brother said he’d break my jaw
here i stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest arkansas

chorus :
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
and i’ve been learnin’ that believin’ and that barely breakin’ even
C C/B Am G
it’s just a part of life for you and me
C C/B Am G G/F# Em
and i’ve been livin’ with the loneliness , it’s got down in my bones i guess
C C/B Am D
it’s just another phase of being free
Am C
and i’ve been learnin’ how to lose a thing i never laid a hand on all along
G G/F# Em D C

well D – queens dry so i bought us both a bottle in downtown broken bow
lorries got a buddy with a double wide trailer they were shaking dominoes
and i had good intentions ’til i had too many , i was stupid i suppose
you better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
chorus
harmonica
well lorrie said i wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
you ain’t half of who i thought you was and this ain’t fun no more
and her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin’ doorway light
well i’ve had all i can handle , hope you’re happy now , goodnight
G C G C G
guess her folks were right , guess her folks were right
