From the day I was born there was a light that called my name, buried deep somewhere in my soul
G C G D Em
And I thought it disappeared through my darlin's golden tears and if I followed, then I would lose control
D Em
Woah, I followed then I would lose control
G C G D Em
Like an outlaw runnin' from a hangman's noose, I wander through the dark between the hills
G C G D Em
I was hidin' from the sun, in the shadows I did run, (I was neglectin' what my soul would reveal x2)
G C G D Em
Hungry as a hound, drunk as a skunk I dragged my weight on home
G C G D Em
And I thought it didn't show, but a mother always knows, (all the scars that left to fester on your soul x2)
G C G D Em
Well the sky'd been cryin', for three damn weeks, day they let me outta that Turney Texas jail
G C G D Em
I was walkin' I-35, tryna bum a ride (wishin' god would let me out of myself x2)
G C D Em
Well I stared up at the sky I said oh-why-oh-why lord you've left me all broken in the cold
G C G D Em
And I swallowed my pride enough to ask you for a sign, (lord let me know I'm not alone x2)
G C G D Em
And I saw break lights, and with tears in my eyes, I walked to the passenger side door.
C D Em
He said boy I know what you've been prayin' for
G C G D Em
From the day you were born there was a light that called your name, buried deep somewhere in your soul
G C G
And it brought you the truth, and it made you confused,
D Em D
if you don't follow, then you will lose control, no if you don't follow,
Em
then you will lose control
