Ballad Of Richard Lindsey
Recorded by Gene Watson
Written by Troy Graves and Bob O'Donnell

C 
Just sittin' there looking out the window
                        A#7               C 
In a chair that Richard Lindsey calls his home
                    A#7              C
A million tears and pain of years of living
       A#7              G7
That's all that Richard Lindsey calls his own
C 
Looking back to things about his woman
                      A#7           C 
He knows too well she won't be back today
     Dm                                C
It's hurts so much to think of how she left him
        A#7                            G7
And the lover that she found along the way
 
     F                      C
It's usually your body that makes the dreams come true
A#7                                 C 
Can you tell me just what you would do
    F                             C
You could strike out in anger and pride got in the way
    A#7                             G7
And who would ever know that it was you
Dm                  G7               C 
That's what Richard Lindsey wants to do
 
 
If she only hadn't laughed when she was leaving
                 A#7             C 
And told him who she was leaving for
 
That morning they might not have found his body
  A#7                                     G7 
Behind that third floor locked motel room door
     C
They never found an answer to his question
                      A#7            C  
What happened on that morning no one knows
     Dm                             C  
They all knew he was jealous of his woman
    A#7                                  G7   
But where they died the cripple couldn't go
 
     F                      C   
It's usually your body that makes the dreams come true
A#7                                 C 
Can you tell me just what you would do
    F                             C
You could strike out in anger and pride got in the way
    A#7                             G7
And who would ever know that it was you
Dm                  G7             C 
That's what Richard Lindsey had to do
