Am       G2                         C       F2 
I walk a long and lonesome road,  
    Am              G2                          C       F2 
The only things that I have ever known,  
  Am                G2                        C 
Is this old beat-up six string and a blue Ford van,  
       F2 
And my rock band…  

Am        G2                        C      F2 
I'm sorry Mama, I had to leave…  
Am                     G2                          C      F2 
I hope one day you and Dad can forgive me,  
    Am              G2                          C                                F2 
For dropping out of school so I could go and play the fool with my best friends…  

Am        G2     C 
This life is my own…  
          Am          G2                      C                F2 
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home…  
Am         G2    C 
This life is my own…  
Am                   G2                      C 
And I will dance and sing atop this globe…  


(play like above) 
Father forgive me for what I've done…             
I promise you one day light will shine from this son…  
I know it makes you proud when this whole damn crowd sings my songs…  

Mom and Dad, you gave me these hands,  
And taught me how to be a man…  
I pray when I have children I do right by you  
and fill them with God's grace…  

This life is my own…  
I throw a dart onto a map and then I make it my home…  
This life is my own…  
And I will dance and sing atop this globe…  

F2                  Am      G2 
I'm not coming home…  
F2                                         Am    G2 
Bright lights and amplifiers are all I've ever known…
