[C#m] [A]
[E] [B]
[C#m] [A]
[E] [C#m]
to you.
Driving [A] to a baseball game [E] on [B] a Friday
[C#m] afternoon.
Hotter [A] than hell in Atlanta,
[E] Georgia.
[C#m] Guess it's [A] been 15 years [E] since [B] I came through here.
[C#m] Probably [A] should have called to [E] warn you.
But I'm stopping [B] by.
I'm [A] stopping by.
[E] Addie,
[C#m]
how did [A] your life turn out?
[E] Do you [B] ever think about
[C#m] [A] Teenage girl in
[E] Chattanooga?
[C#m] Did you ever [A] tell your folks the truth?
[E] Well, that might have [B] been the last of you.
[C#m] Would have been [A] a shame when you hardly [E] knew.
Now I'm stopping [B] by.
I'm [A] stopping by.
Addie,
[C#m] [E] think [A] the best of me still standing in the [E] doorway.
[D#m]
[C#m] Counting cars and counting [A] days and counting [E] years.
I [B] could [C#m] say you made [A] me go through life the [E] hard way.
Might have [B] been worth a few years.
[C#m] Looking [A] through a picture book,
[E] Just wanna [B] thank my mama tough.
[C#m] You couldn't [A] have been much over [E] 20.
[C#m] You're shirtless [A] and you cut off [E] teens.
You handle [B] all your props to me.
[C#m] Probably [A] asked where you got the [E] money.
[C#m] Picture [A] on another page.
[E] I [B] recognize my eyes as they [C#m] age.
I've [A] been alone for quite a [E] while then.
[C#m] Trying [A] to get a match to burn.
[E] Waiting [B] on a latch to turn.
[C#m] Still [A] have difficulty [E] smiling.
But I'm stopping [B] by.
I'm [A] stopping by.
Dad,
[C#m] think [A] the best of me still standing in the [E] doorway.
[C#m] Whatever's left is headed [A] south on [E] 85.
[C#m] Passing families on [A] vacation headed [E] your way.
You look [B] so happy in my eyes.
But I'm [E] stopping by.
Addie.
