My daddy died when I was just a child, and two months [F] later, Mama's [C] drunken [G] wild.
She had her away with the low rent type, settled on [F] all night to [C] drink and [G] fast.
I hope like Kelly was a passing thing, before too [F] long she was [C] wearing his [G] ring.
I sat on her bed to keep it heavy, but still wearing the [F] scars from the [C] things he [F] did.
You think you're a mighty tough man, but I [G] beg differ. _ _ _ _ _
[F] There's a promise made, and I plan to keep, and I'm helping [G] on the liver. _ _ _ _ _
[F] I'm gonna wash your [C] sins away with [F] the cut of [C] a blade, with the [G] sound of a trigger. _ _ _ _ _
[F] I'll watch your body fade [C] to the bottom of the [G] muddy river. _ _ _ _ _ _

He'd come home late, drunk and mean, and darker than [F] night, she could [C] hear her [G] scream with heavy hands.
Just like lead, I'd follow her [F] through that [C] sea of [G] death.
Me and Mama, we hatched a plan when he'd been [F] gone, I [C] was a [G] man.
Still too young to set us free, but I can feel the [F] hate build [C] up in [F] me.
You think you're a mighty tough man, but I [G] beg differ. _ _ _ _ _

Turned 18, got me a job, working on a [F] riverboat, [C] pushing [G] logs.
He's fat, get everything he's due, me and Mama's [F] plan is a [C] coming [G] true.
Cinder blocks and a borrowed chain, dragging him [F] down, screaming [C] my [G] name.
Oh, big money, take control.
Oh, big [F] money, wash [C] away his [F] soul.
You think you're a mighty tough man, but I [G] beg differ. _ _ _ _ _
