Bobby Darwins Daughter

C
Bobby Darwin's daughter looks up from the bible
                                                                         F
she's been reading to the clock on her dirty wall of a double wide, it's 3 a.m.
    C
Her husband's on the town shooting pool or fooling 'round,
                                                             Dm             Em
or all of the above it doesn't matter anymore, she can't get through to him
F
Seems like only yesterday they were married in a chapel,
                                                      G    C
candlelight the whole nine yards, honeymoon in Vegas, they settled down
         Dm            G
Now it's lonely nights and hungry kids
Dm                                G                                         C
She just keeps on looking for the life that's not the life she's living now

[Chorus]
Dm                      G
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
      C                C/E        F
where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
    Dm                    G
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
    C                 C/E            F
are somewhere between here and king- dom come
    Am                    G                       C                C/E          F
And in her darkest hours, Bobby Darwin's daughter wishes she could go back when
                                   G                                    C
she'd ask where (Ab+)god came from instead of wondering where he's been

C
Bobby Darwin's daughter dropping off the kids driving home
                                                         F
in the pouring rain sudden skid and just like that she's clinging to her life
    C
Her husband rushes in the tiny room and through his tears whispers, "I love you,
   baby please, don't leave me now, you're my only life"
   F
He bows his head and prays aloud, "This one thing I promise,
                                                                      G       C
if I could get just one more chance to be the man, I should have been I'll be that man"
       Dm        G
She a- wakens to another world,
Dm                               G                                          C
stares into his grateful eyes of love, she smiles at him, he takes her hand

[Chorus]
Dm                      G
Bobby Darwin's daughter used to ask her father
      C                C/E        F
where Santa Clause and babies and God came from
    Dm                    G
And as she's gotten older all those easy answers
    C                 C/E            F
are somewhere between here and king- dom come
    Am                    G                       C              C/E
And in her darkest hours, Bobby Darwin's daughter never saw till now that
    F                                        G                                 C
she was wrong about where (Ab+)God came from and that he's been here all along
