Keeper by Shovels And Rope
Keeper
A D A D A
A D A
Lu lives by the river and she's got herself a good good man
A D A
Spends half the year off shore in lower Alabam
A D A
Her friends say she should leave him and come join them in the west coast sand
A D A
But she knows she's got a keeper and they'll never really understand
A Ab F#m Ab A D A
un-der-sta-aa-and
D E
She puts a line in the water when the sun comes up, starts drinkin' when it's goin' down
A D
Dancin' all alone to the radio till her man comes back around
E
She might go down to Pensacola, maybe lay out on the ol' gulf shore
A D
But she don't go to bars at home without him anymore
E
She don't care about what they say, she don't listen anyway
A D A D A
A D A
All the roughneck rounders playing cards around a TV set
A D A
Waitin' around for somethin'[ that hadn't happened yet
A D A
Jokin' with a dancer she says, "I can help you to forget"
A D A
But he knows he's got a keeper so he smiles and lights a cigarette
A Ab F#m Ab A D A
And tips his haa-aa-aat
D E
He puts his head on the pillow when the sun comes up, starts workin' when it's going down
A D
Melting hot steel down in Bienville, just waiting on a turnaround
E
He starts thinkin' about Pensacola, he could be fishin' on the ol' gulf shore
A D
But he don't like to do those things without her anymore
E
He don't care about what they say, he never listened anyway
A D A
A D A
A Ab F#m Ab A
D A
D E
They put their lines in the water when the sun comes up, start drinkin' when it's going down
A D
Dancing real slow to the radio cause her man's come back around
E
They might go down to Pensacola, do a little fishin' on the ol' gulf shore
A D
They don't like to stay out all night the way they did before
E
They don't care about what they say, she never listens anyway
