You are (D) welcome to (D/F#) try if you (G) like

I had been down in the valley so long, I had almost run out of respect
Got in right up to my neck
Battered but wise to the truth and the lies that no layman would ever accept
Reaching for all of the good things in life can provide some surprises I guess
It may be the way we are dressed
These threads that you see mean so little to me, they don't count when they put us to rest

Late about dusk I would start to feel, one more day had been lost
Nothing I'd say ever seemed to convey how I felt with that I have dealt
All of my children are healthy and sane, they may say anything that they like
Say anything that they like

Sitting alone in the Blue Ridge Saloon is no place for an angel to be
Ladies make faces at me
Battered but clean I had pulled my machine off the road, I was too tired to see
Wearing a smile like the rim of a cup, I will get down to my final point
There is no one left to annoint
And the sowing of seed was it good, yes indeed, it thrills me but only to a point

Use your imagination, try every trick in the book
My mother said with the life that I led I'd be broke, holy smoke
All of my children are healthy and wise, they may say anything that they like
Say anything that they like
If they want to preach and are not within reach, they may say anything that they like
Say anything that they like
