[Verse 1]
[D][Em][D][G][D][Em][D]
[G]The[D]re was
a man I used to pass on my way into town
[G]He was covered in dirt like the
world had beat him down
[D]I often wondered how he
ended up like that
So [G]one day, driving home,
I pulled over to asked
And [Em]I said, "Man, [D]where'd it all go

[Verse 2]
[G]
wrong?"
And [Em]he said, "Son, do you
[D]really [G]wanna know?

[Verse 3]
[D]"My daddy [Em]left for another woman,
[D]moved off to [G]L.A.
[D]My mama fought [Em]hard against that [D]cancer,
she [G]died when I was eight
[D]I finished sch[Em]ool, my country
[D]shipped me off to war
[G]When I cam[D]e home, my who[Em]le
world didn't [D]love me [G]anymore"
It's [Em]hard to [D]see all just driving

[Verse 4]
[G]by
[Em]So, I just write down [D]"Jesus Saves" 'cause
[G]there ain't no way
I can fit that on a [D]sign[Em][D]
[G]I can't fit that on [D]a sign[Em][D][G]
[D]I took him to

[Verse 5]
a dinner,
I bought him a cup of coffee
[G]He asked me if he could borrow
a couple dollars off me
[Em]He told me his [D]story, I told [G]mine
And [Em]he said,
"Thanks 'cause most [D]folks around here
Would [G]never take the time," he said

[Verse 6]
[D]"I lost my [Em]job down at the [D]mill
when that [G]factory closed
[D]Army stopped [Em]sending me them c[D]hecks,
the bank took [G]everything I [D]own
Hitchhiked my [Em]way up to Chicag[D]o,
the [G]nights were too damn [D]cold
I hopped the [Em]train,
[D]headed west 'cause I had [G]nowhere else to go"
[Em]It's hard to see all t[D]hat driving by

[Verse 7]
[G]
So, [Em]I just write down [D]"Jesus Saves," 'cause
[G]there ain't no way
I can fit that on [D]a sign[Em]
[D]There ain't no way to [G]fit that
on a [D]sign[Em][D][G]
[Em]I probably would've wro

[Verse 8]
[D]
te down [G]a little more
If I [Em]could've found a [D]bigger
piece of card[G]board
[D]My brother,

[Verse 9]
[Em]Wal ter was my h[F#m]ero,
[Em]but he was '[G]bout the drink
[D]One night, he [Em]laid his Harley
[D]down near [G]that Ohio River bank
[D]Me and my ex[Em]- wife tried for kids
when [D]we were dating
[G]Hel[D]l, we even had bab[Em]y names picked
out, but little [D]Walter [G]didn't [Em]make it

[Verse 10]
It's hard to see [D]all that just
[G]driving by
[Em]So, I just write down [D]"Jesus Saves," 'cause
there [G]ain't no way
I can fit that on [D]a sign
[Em]I ca[D]n't fit all th[G]at on a sign[D][Em][D]
