We drove to the hospital in a hurry

Where my family gathered around my

he was my best friend

he taught me how to fish
G D C
and i cried listening to my daddy pray
D G
for one of those i've loved along the way
C D G
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
C D G
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
C D Em
And after graduation she took off for Denver

For awhile we both tried to keep in touch
C
She was my best friend
G/B
and it broke my heart
G D C
but i dont regret the day she became
D G
one of those i've loved along the way

And i hope they know
C D
I never would have made it this far on my own
C G G/F#
where would we all would be without those fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers

Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar

Looking back down this old road i've travled on

It was never about trying to be some big star

For me it's always been about these songs
