          Am
Well, the rain was a-fallin’ and the ground turned
    G
to mud
      Am                                         D
I was watching all the people running from the flood
     Am
So I started to prayin' though I ain't no prayin'
 G
man
         Em             Am              Em7
For the Lord to come a-helpin' knowing he'd
      Am
understand

Chorus:
   G          D/F#            Em
Deliver your children to the good, good life
 C                  G/B           Am
Give 'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
         G            D/F#          Em
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
           G    D/F# Em                 C   G/B  Am
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right

Well, I had me a woman, she was good and clean
She spent all the day with the washing machine
But when it come to loving, she was never around
She was out getting dirty all over townn.

Chorus

Well, I was low on money, and my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a dealer, I said "make it run"
Well, I ain't got no money, but I got me a gun

I said you robbed me before, so I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight,
it'll put you on the right track
Well, I ain't no devil, and I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer by the colour of his paint

Chorus

        Am                                 G
If you want good eggs you gotta feed that hen
            Em              Am
And if you wanna hear some more
            Em      Am  Em Am
Well, I'll sing it again
