He did not seem much like a man with a problem,
D D*** G
he was small he was quiet he dressed neat and shaved.
A A
His job was five days in a brick making plant
A A*** D
and he drank a few beers on his other two days.
[Chorus]
G D
His music was country, his faith was in Jesus,
D D*** A
in fact he had pictures of Christ in his house.
G D
He never once questioned his daily existence
D A*** D D
nor wondered a lot what his life was about.
[Verse 2]
D D
He was fond of his pistol and he cleaned it too often,

Stare out the window and sip on the cold beer,

sometimes he was happy like children who play.

sometimes he cut hair with the guys on our street.
