I walk a long and lonesome road,
The only things that I have ever known,
*
Is this old beat-up six string and a blue Ford van,
And my rock bandâ¦
I m sorry Mama, I had to leaveâ¦
I hope one day you and Dad can forgive me,
*
For dropping out of school so I could go and play the fool with my best friendsâ¦
This life is my ownâ¦
*
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my homeâ¦
This life is my ownâ¦
And I will dance and sing atop this globeâ¦
(play like above)
Father forgive me for what I ve doneâ¦
I promise you one day light will shine from this sonâ¦
I know it makes you proud when this whole damn crowd sings my songsâ¦
Mom and Dad, you gave me these hands,
And taught me how to be a manâ¦
I pray when I have children I do right by you
and fill them with God s graceâ¦
This life is my ownâ¦
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my homeâ¦
This life is my ownâ¦
And I will dance and sing atop this globeâ¦
I m not coming homeâ¦
Bright lights and amplifiers are all I ve ever knownâ¦
the quick outro is just strums between the C and the G2 chord
