 A                            Bm
It was late one night in Southern Texas
 A                            Bm
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
 A                            Bm
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
 A                            Bm
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
 D           C#m              Bm
Oh but a phone call would have been nice

 A                            Bm
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
 C#m
And the world couldn't change my spirit
 D           C#m              Bm
This will remain the same

 A                            Bm
You were young and living like you wanted to
 A                            Bm
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
 A                            Bm
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
 D           C#m              Bm
Oh in so many ways you did

 A                            Bm
I don't want to have you worry no more
 C#m                                          D
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
 C#m              Bm
So we can move on

 G                                   D
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
 G                                          D
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
 G                                          D  G  G#m
I would sit along side of the fence

 A                            Bm
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
 A                            Bm
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
 A                            Bm
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
 D           C#m              Bm
Ohhh it could have turned out so different

 A                            Bm
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
 C#m
And the world couldn't change my spirit
 D           C#m              Bm
This will remain forever

 A                            Bm
I don't want to have you worry no more
 C#m                                          D
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
 C#m             Bm
So we can move on
