[Verse]
C
I got a bad phone call from Elizabethtown.
Am
Said my brother, he?s back in jail.
F
& the kids are staying with the grandfolks now,
G
Cause there ain?t noone ?round here, family or not
F
Even thinking about going his bail.
C
He''''s been living down the wrong road now.
Is what some people they?re saying.
Am
Going on a couple of years.
F
But I was there when he nearly blew that boy away.
G
& I ain''''t ever thought once in all my life
I?d ever see so many tears.
[Chorus]
F C
I said, ?Justin, please you break my heart.
G C
You''''ve got a soul of gold, but you ain''''t that smart
F G
On the streets & boy you''''re needing to be.
F C
If you wanna keep tumbling around,
F C
Keep your own two feet from flying off the ground,
F G
Wanna keep acting like you?re some damn Indiana kingpin?
F
Just shadow boxing on the corner where you planted your seeds
C
Waiting for the snow to fall & cover your dreams, alright.?
C G Dm F
C
I don''''t think too much about Elizabethtown
Am
But there?s some memories that I can?t shake.
F
It''''s like slideshows taped up behind my eyes ?
C G
I''''ve got one for every time I tried to get away
F
One for every time that I stayed.
C
It''''ll take you fifteen hours to get from there to here
Am
It takes me nine every time I leave.
F
I ain''''t ever been one for the long goodbyes.
G
I ain''''t ever had the stomach for the same old scene
Never had the patience to pray.
[Chorus]
F C
I said, Justin, please you break my heart.
G C
You?ve got a soul of gold, but you ain?t that smart
F G
On the streets ? & boy you''''re needing to be.
F C
If you wanna keep tumbling around,
F C
Keep your own two feet from flying off the ground,
F G
Wanna keep acting like you?re some damn Indiana kingpin?
F
Just shadow boxing on the corner where you planted your seeds
C
Waiting for the wind to blow & scatter your dreams, alright.?

He''''s been living down the long road now

Heading down to the pier.
F
Then his body washed up just the other day.
