[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
She left Rockport in December
She had nothing left to lose
E
Daddy died the prior winter
D A
Momma fell in love with booze
She cashed in all her pennies
E
She’d been saving for so long
She asked the neighbors to watch the house
D A A F#m
As she nailed the last board on
[Chorus]
D
Hello goodbye, Hello freedom
A E E F#m
Here’s to all the miles that build you along the way
D
Hello hard times, Hello demons
A E A
Here’s to all the nights when you’re too afraid to pray
[Verse 2]
A
She thought New Orleans was the coolest
She’d never seen that shit before
E
They had cold case files, voodoo smiles
D A
And blues men on tour
A
But the darkness of the city
Began to show around her eyes
E
She found comfort in the needle
D A A F#m
And daddy’s snubnosed .45
[Chorus]
D
Hello goodbye, Hello freedom
A E E F#m
Here’s to all the miles that build you along the way
D
Hello hard times, Hello demons
A E A
Here’s to all the nights when you’re too afraid to pray
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A
He was born to migrant workers
In Southeast Arkansas
E
He had 2 strikes against him
D A
Before he ever learned to crawl
A
They crossed paths south of Reno
Fell in love and placed their bets
E
But hope don’t last forever
D A A F#m
And a fallin’ knife is hard to catch
[Chorus]
D
Hello goodbye, Hello freedom
A E E F#m
Here’s to all the miles that build you along the way
D
Hello hard times, Hello demons
A E A
Here’s to all the nights when you’re too afraid to pray
[Reprise]
A
She left Rockport in December
She had nothing left to lose
E
Daddy died the prior winter
D A
Momma fell in love with booze
