We attend the same church he introduced me to my wife
D                               Em
Gave my last job everything before it headed south
G                                                A
Put the shoes off of my childrens feet and the food out of their mouths
Em              D/F#             G
Yesterday, my folks offered to help
Em                                 G  /
But their barely gettin by themselves.
