SCARS AND SOUVENIRS

Max Stalling

D G D

IT’S BEEN FIFTEEN SOME–ODD YEARS SINCE HE LOST AUNT LIL

A A7

HE PLAYS RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MEMORIES, NOTHING BUT TIME TO KILL

D G D

HE’S TOO OLD TO WORK HIS CATTLE, TOO STUBBORN TO STAY IN BED

A D

EACH MORNING OVER COFFEE HE TURNS TO HER PICTURE AND SAYS,

CHORUS

G D

OH I’VE BEEN BETTER, I’VE BEEN WORSE A TIME OR TWO

D A D D7

I GOT…..TWO BLOODSHOT EYES AND THAT’S ENOUGH TO SEE ME THROUGH

G D

FAIR TO MIDDLIN’….. CONSIDERING,

A G D

LIFE’S MOSTLY SCARS AND SOUVENIRS

THERE’S WRINKLES ON HIS FACE AND WRINKLES ON HIS CLOTHES

HE WEARS A LITTLE THINNER AS EACH DAY UNFOLDS

HE SWEARS HE’LL LIVE FOREVER JUST TO SPITE HIS HEALTH

BUT IT TAKES CHRISTIAN BROTHERS BRANDY TO REASSURE HIMSELF

CHORUS

A PICTURES WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS AND MONEY EARNED IS MONEY SPENT

BLESS US OH LORD FOR THESE THY GIFTS, I KNOW NOT WHERE THEY WENT

NOW THE POSTMAN BRINGS HIS PENSION AND THE COUNTY BRINGS HIS MEALS

AND I DROP BY FROM TIME TO TIME JUST TO ASK HIM HOW HE FEELS

CHORUS-REPEAT LAST LINE
