D A G D
Momma told me when I was young son don't you play that guitar
D A G D
But I'm living how I'm living and doing what i'm doing and I just got to me a star
D A G D
Now I'm up on stage strumming my six-string and playing in this old bar
D A G D
And everynight I pray to the Lord some day that I'll go far
D G
I'm rockin my life away
D G
I'm rollin my life away
D
And I'm doing what I'm doing
A
And I'm living what I'm living
G D
And I'm doing just fine this way
I'm playing all night in these run down bars just trying to get ahead
But it's what I choose and I can't go back on this old life I've led
There are some nights I get lucky and I take a barmaid to bed
But in her arms I can't help but think about my guitar instead
Chorus
One of these days you just might see me coming to your town
You know I would give anything just to hear you screaming loud
But if I never make it and I never get farther than where I am at now
You know I wouldn't change it for anything and I'll get by somehow
Chorus 2X
