D 
Five years old with a smile on my face 
D                                        
Momma?s in the kitchen, Daddy?s playin? bass 
    Em  G     D 
Downtown, downtown 
D 
Dad walks in, says, ?Sherri, girl we need to talk 
 
Remember that night with John Boy, well you know I saw it all 
          Em    G                   D 
And I was scared for the first time 
     Em G  D 
Whoa-oa-oa 
 
D 
One thing led to another, left my mom down on the floor 
D 
Dad said, ?Once you had everything, but you chose to be a whore 
             Em  G                 D 
And so we?re gone to the next town 
                Em  G                     D 
Oh man, we were gone just like that, yeah

Make me proud, son 
Oh here I am, here I am playin? downtown 
Whoa-oa-oa-oh-oh 
Whoa-oa-oa-oh-oh
