We moved on the second [D] floor [F] of a grocery store garage, _ _
[G] rooming board and gasoline, _
living _ [C] on the job. _

there till all the people [C] leave. _
But she got tired of working hard [F] and running low on luck. _
[G] She loaded up her dreams and left in my old pickup [C] truck.
Oh, the weeds outlived the roses _ _
[F] in her old _ flowerpot, _ _
[G] and all I've got's a greasy spot in an empty [C] parking lot. _
We spent a lot of time out [F] there when the day would end,
[G] and Lord, I'd love to see her now and my old truck [C] pull in. _ _

_ _ _ Well, I'd like to have the gasoline [F] I've run out on the ground.

_ [G] I hope that them old booted tires and taped up wires [C] hold up.
