The phone's on the dash, the goddamned thing
A D
It's one of those times when I know it's gonna ring

Don't want to answer, but I got no choice

There's something bad wrong I can hear it in your voice

A D
The dryer's broke down and the kids all cryin'
A D
It's pouring down rain and there's clothes on the line
A D
I don't know what to tell you, don't know what to say
A D
How'm I gonna fix it, I'm a thousand miles away

I get to travel and you gotta stay home
A D
You're gettin' tired of raising them kids alone
A D
I know it ain't easy, I know it ain't fair
A D
You keep saying I never take you anywhere
A D
Want me to take you for an airplane ride
A D
Want me to take you to the seaside

Sorry baby but I can't right now

Gonna have to make it up to you somehow

[Bridge]
A G
We're nearly twenty years older
A G
And it's not like we thought it'd be
A G
We never talked this over
A G DGD DGD
You can't lay it all on me
[Verse 3]
A D
Van's barely running and we're all half sick
A D
Band leader's being such a damn little prick
A D
We hit the road early and I never got a shower
A D
Supposed to been at soundcheck back about an hour
A D
Blood pressure's up and I gotta take pills
A D
If the food don't kill me, the alcohol will
A D
I know it ain't healthy, but this is what I do
A D
Same thing I was doing back before I met you
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
A D
You want to know about a number I called
A D
Must've been a misdial I don't recall
A D
Doctor bills came and we're down on our knees
A D
Insurance pays when they damn well please
A D
I sent home the money, soon as I could
A D
Sent it home to Sancho, like a good man should
