Verse 1
G                   D
He was twenty-five, she was twenty-eight
       C
He was home grown country
           D
She'd just pulled off the interstate
    G                        D
She bought a Dr. Pepper, ten dollars worth of gas
        C                  D                   G        D
She was obviously lost but too afraid to ask directions
      G                         D
So he offered her a smile and a stick of Beech Nut gum
        C                                       D
He said where you headed to girl, where are you coming from
She said?(chorus)

Couple of months later

They were living on his parent's street

He worked the station and she worked the store

And then they had a baby and

Then they had one more little Jesse
G                                    D
When she dropped the kids off at the mother's day out
        C
All the ladies had their questions
         D
But knew not to ask about (Chorus)
Verse 3 (same chords)
Wednesday night supper at the First Baptist Church
Stranger standin' in the doorway
As they're passin' out the dessert
He said go on and pack your bags
Cause I'm here to take you home
I'm goin' back to Louisiana
And woman I ain't gonna go with out you
There's a few defining moments in every person's life
When you know what you've done wrong
And you know what you've done right
And before the congregation and her husband and her kids
She says, "How dare you even speak to me
After everything you did"...in
That's another town, that's another life
