Utopia by John Arthur Martinez
Utopia
Capo:1st fret
Am C G Am
On cheap California wine I was breastfed and reared
Am C G Am
By a mama who wouldn’t want me once my daddy disappeared
Am C G Am
She closed her bloodshot eyes, touched her finger to the map
Am C G Am
To a small Texas town, there’d be no more grapes of wrath
Am C G Am
At each end of town was a welcome sign she wanted to believe
Am C G Am
But that edge of town would cut you down if you ever tried to leave
Am C G Am
We lived on 187, and I prayed with each sunrise
Am C G Am
That we’d settled on a piece of heaven, and found our paradise
Chorus
F C G Am
Was it heaven on earth or kingdom come a little of both or neither one
F C E7 Am–C–G-Am
It wasn’t meant to be this way, but we stayed in our Utopia
Am C G Am
For sixteen battered years we lived out of a pickup truck
Am C G Am
When she told me to make my bed, I’d just put the tailgate up
Am C G Am
How I ever lived to this ripe young age I’m not really sure
Am C G Am
If I ever really learned right from wrong, it was damn sure not from her
Chorus
Am C G Am
Twenty-one years later and inside I’m still a child
Am C G Am
Playin’ tag with my past; it’ll catch me once in a while
Am C G Am
And I have to fight that bottle every day of my life
Am C G Am
Another long drawn out battle I win some of the time
Chorus
