Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:
Am                                              G
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears
   C                      F
She's waited on every creed an' color,
Am                                    G
While waitin' on this day to get here
 Dm                              Am
Graveyard shifts, two bit tips,
           C
Makin' every quarter count,
                   Dm               Am
Was worth it all to see her son,
        G
In that cap an' gown

                           CHORUS
                C
There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
F
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
     Am
When you can't lean on no-one else:
    G
That's when you find yourself
      C
I've been around and I've noticed that
    F
Walkin's easy when the road is flat
    Am                                              Dm      G
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
                Dm                               G
Yeah the good Lord gave us mountains,
                                     F                  G
So we could learn how to climb

C                           F
Private Bobby Dunn came back from the war
     Am                                              G
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
      C                      F
Hell bent to run in that local marathon
     Am                                                 G
He trained through the endless pain an' pills
               Dm             Am
It hurt so bad that sometimes

C
He just had to cry
              Dm                  Am
He didn't stop until he crossed
         G
That finish line


(CHORUS)

    Dm
This world ain't fair
         Am
It can knock you on your butt
      Dm
You can just lie there
                 G
Or you can get back up
                             C
You gotta get back up

(CHORUS)
