Capo on 8th fret
	        


G 
Always been a fighter, scrapper, and a clawer 
C                     G 
Used up some luck and lawyers 
      C            G                   D 
Like Huck from Tom Sawyer jumped on my raft 
                       G 
And shoved off chasing my dreams 

Reeling in big fishes 
           C               G 
I had some hits, a few big misses 
   C                          G 
I gave 'em hell and got a few stitches 
          D 
And these days, I show off my scars 

     C 
With one arm around my baby 
    G 
And one arm around my boys 
   C 
A heart that's still pretty crazy 
       D 
And a head that hates the noise 
         C          D 
If the world comes knocking 
G                Em 
Tell 'em I'm not home 
     C      D          G 
I'm finally holdin' my own 

G 
I've burned up the fast lane 
C                 G 
Dodging drugs and divorce 
C               G 
If I'm proof of anything 
               D 
God sure loves Troubadours 
G 
Sometimes, late at night 
C                    G 
I miss the smoke and neon 
C                        G 
Sneak out of bed, grab a six-string 
            D 
Play what's still turnin' me on 
          G 
Like that tight old-time rock and roll 
         C 
Or that right-down-home country gold 
G 
I miss blues and soul 
        D                      G 
But not more than I miss being home 

      C 
With one arm around my baby 
    G 
And one arm around my boys 
   C 
A heart that's still pretty crazy 
       D 
And a head that hates the noise 
         C          D 
If the world comes knocking 
G                Em 
Tell 'em I'm not home 
     C      D          G 
I'm finally holdin' my own 

Am              G          C 
         'Til I run out of time 
Am                  G                 C    D 
          I'm gonna spend the rest of miiiiine 

      C 
With one arm around my baby 
    G 
And one arm around my boys 
   C 
A heart that's still pretty crazy 
       D 
And a head that hates the noise 
         C          D 
If the world comes knocking 
G                Em 
Tell 'em I'm not home 
     C      D          G 
I'm finally holdin' my own 

G 
And when my time on Earth is done 
C                          G 
I hope they write it on my stone 
  C                 D               G 
I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own 
  C                 D               G 
I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own
