Undone

Written by: Robert Earl Keen

CD: Robert Earl Keen - Picnic

Intro: C D G C D

D

Fire one up and you toss one down

C

Everybody knows you been downtown

D

Been downtown late last night

C

Bust your head in a barroom fight

D

Fightin' with your brother, fightin' with your wife

C

Seems you've been fighting every day of your life

D

Can't stand still, still can't run

C D G C D C D

You put it all together but it come undone

D

Your soul is junk, your brain is dust

C

All of your memories are eaten up with rust

D

Your nightmare's real, dreams too stark

C

You love the night but you hate the dark

D

Your momma, your daddy, little sister too

C

Told you a secret they were countin' on you

D

You were dying to tell but your dad said son

C D G C D C D

Button your lip but it come undone, undone, undone

D

So they turned you out when you turned them in

C

They told you don't come back again

D

Now the years stack up like old beer cans

C

Dead end jobs, payment plans

D

Broke down trucks, welfare checks

C

Child support, back-seat sex

D

You'd kill yourself but you hocked your gun

C D G C D C D

You built a noose but it come undone, undone, undone, undone

D

So you're livin' in a shack but you wanna be rich

C

And you would if it wasn't for that sonovabitch

D

The sonovabitch, the dirty old whore

C

The butcher, the baker, the grocery store

D

You hate them, they hate you

C

What in the world are you gonna do?

D

It ain't your fault but they need someone

C D G C D C D

To blame it on when they come undone, undone, undone, undone

D

Now the storm's comin' in, the sky's turned black

C

It's too late now, you can't turn back

D

Lightnin' strikes on the telephone wire

C

You're drunk as a skunk, your shack's on fire

D

The wife took the baby and the other two kids

C

The dogs are a-howlin' and the chickens are dead

D

It's your last night out and you're gonna have fun

C (play then mute)

They'll read it in the papers when you come

D G C D C D

undone, undone, undone, undone

C D C D C D G C D

Undone, undone
