Lyrics

C Dm Fmaj7 G6
Everyday, he puts his shovel down
Everyday, another body in the ground
Everyday, it seems too much to take
"But who else would do what I do?" he thinks to himself as he wakes

Am Fmaj7
If only for one day
Am G6
I could escape death's curse
If only just one day
*sigh*

Everyday, he dreams of another life
Everyday, two kids and a wife
Everyday, it all comes crashing down
As bullets ring out in Independence County, and a body hits the ground
