Cross Canadian Ragweed The Years Lyrics

I watched Cody play this acoustic in concert and im pretty sure this is correct. Feel free to comment!
[]Verse 1
My mother had a mexican boyfriend
dd9
He stole a car once or twice before
dd9
He got busted in the best budget inn
I found my way to the door
I couldn't take anymore
dd9
Lived with my sister and her second husband
dd9
South of the river, north of grid
dd9
I went to work with my cousin
Just like the rest of us kids
I tried to keep it all hid
Chorus:
It seemed so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show
but I kinda did
The years can slip away
When your trying to get away
and I never did
I got tired of country livin'
And tried to make a new batch of friends
It's hard to give when theres no givin'
I stuck my thumb in the wind
Nothing against my kin
I headed back to where I started
Pawned everything I could pawn
I guess I thought they'd be open hearted
They never knew I was gone
I just kept movin' along
I worked the day and the night life
I drilled the bar and I drilled the ground
One for pay, one for the good times
One of 'em still hangin around
I put the other one down
