There ain't no doubt,

I was twenty-seven years old that summer,
A
just having my self a ball,
Em
Working on a record deal,
A D A
playing in the bars and concert halls, making money just to watch it burn, living day by day,
Em A
Stayed out late drinkin' way too much, didn't act my age,
G A G A
But life turned on a dime when she said, you're going to be a daddy come wintertime.

There ain't no doubt,

Man he's gonna make a man of me,
A
He's gonna straighten me out somehow.

The lord works in a strange way,

And Heaven knows,

He's planning on a miracle,
A
man I wonder how it's gonna go,
D A

D A
Man I never saw the changes comin' they caught me unaware,
Em A
One day I was as wild as a bull the next I was a teddy bear,
D A
Put down the bottle about a month before, And I put down the cigarettes,

Started holding my wife a little tighter and sayin' the prayers I used' forget,
G A G
And now I look into those baby blue eyes and I find all the peace I've been searching for yeah I

finally realize

And it stirs my soul I'm holding onto a miracle and I ain't ever letting go
D A

I've finally made my peace with god and I've got sweet comfort in my soul
