Straight from the Texas Hill Country, a natural born highway junkie
F C
Never much money but I always kept some faith
F
And sometimes without knowing where I was going
F C G
I just kept rollin anyways on to better days
C
I chose this road
F
I've been blinded, divided, reunited
F C
Held together with prayer and nickle-coated wire guitar strings

I scraped my ass of every rough patch but I kept dreaming bout green grass

And the day I'd grow some wings, get me some beautiful wings

And if God sheds some more grace, and the creek stays in its place
F C G
I might stay in the race long enough to meet my little boy's little boy

F C F
