C F
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)
