Am G2 C F
I walk a long and lonesome road
Am G2 C F
The only things that I have ever known
Am G2 C*
Is this old beat-up six string and a blue Ford van
F
And my rock band
Am G2 C F
I'm sorry Mama I had to leave
Am G2 C F
I hope one day you and Dad can forgive me
Am G2 C* F
For dropping out of school so I could go and play the fool with my best friends
Am G2 C
This life is my own
Am G2 C* F
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home
Am G2 C
This life is my own
Am G2 C
And I will dance and sing atop this globe
play like above
Father forgive me for what I've done
I promise you one day light will shine from this son
I know it makes you proud when this whole damn crowd sings my songs
Mom and Dad you gave me these hands
And taught me how to be a man
I pray when I have children I do right by you
and fill them with God's grace
This life is my own
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home
This life is my own
And I will dance and sing atop this globe
F2 Am G2
I'm not coming home
F2 Am G2
Bright lights and amplifiers are all I've ever known
outro strum between the C and the G chord
