[Verse 1]
             
I'm praying fo

So the grapes 

              
can grow and t

              
hey can make m

    
ore wine
             
And I'm sittin

             
g in a honky i

     
n Chicago
             
With a broken 

            
heart and a wo

          
man on my mind


[Chorus]
            
I match the ma

              
n behind the b

           
ar for the juk

ebox
             
And the music 

              
takes me back 

         
to Tennessee
             
And they ask w

             
ho's the fool

And when they
