"Valdosta" by Corbette Jackson
I got these chords from watching a video of one of his performances.
Intro: G
Verse 1:
G D
She left 3 months after graduation
Em C
For Valdosta and a higher education.
G D C
I stayed behind, took a job out there feeding grain.
G D
It was late night phone calls, working overtime
Em C
Doing anything to keep her mine,
G D C
Putting all my hard-earned dough in a diamond ring.
Em D
I was wide-eyed, young, in love,
Em D C
Heading to her college in my pickup truck,
Em D
But when I arrived, to my surprise,
C C
She was on the couch all whiskey-eyed, kissing on some other guy.
Chorus:
G D
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
Em C
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
G D C
About love, life, and women.
G D
Well I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
Em C
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
G D C
And heartache is just a part of living.
D C
Yeah I know a good education will cost you,
G
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
Verse 2:
G D
I didn't hang around for an explanation,
Em C
I laid out without hesitation
G D C
Right after I spit my dip in his eye.
G D
But if it wasn't for her promiscuous ways,
Em C
I'd have never stopped at that cafe
G D C
Where a sweet little brown-eyed girl asked me what I'd like.
G D
I said, "How 'bout a love that lasts,
Em C
A girl who's looking for an honest man?"
G D
She said, "I know how it feels
C C
When you're out there spinning your wheels, tryna find something real.
Chorus:
G D
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
Em C
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
G D C
About love, life, and women.
G D
Yeah I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
Em C
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
G D C
And heartache is just a part of living.
D C
Well I know a good education will cost you,
G
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
G D Em C
Bridge:
Am
Now that brown-eyed girl is riding shotgun,
C
We've got a sunset and a fifth of rum.
Am
And in my own way, I'm thankful now
D
for that little South Georgia college town.
Chorus:
G D
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
Em C
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
G D C
About love, life, and women.
G D
Hey I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
Em C
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
G D C
And heartache is just a part of living.
G D C
Yeah, I said a heartache is just a part of living.
D
I know a good education will cost you,
C G D C
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
G D C
Way down in Valdosta.
G
Ooohhh.
