Am Em F C
"When our column advanced, and we saw what we've done,
Dm Bb Am D
we were sure that we could never tell the folks back home,"
Am Em F C
said my father to me. I had just turned sixteen,
Dm Bb Am D
and we were walking from my school to his apartment alone.
And he said,
Dm C E F
"You'd think the world you're in would always remain,
C D G
but some worlds can just disappear.
Dm C E F
Some worlds you enter just for seconds at a time,
C D G E
and some last until you're forgiven."
Am Em F C
When my mother and me take the drive into town,
Dm Bb Am D
I can't tell if she's lost where we are.
Am Em F C
She turns the radio to 92 Star,
Dm Bb Am D
where Ronnie Milsap sings what he would not have missed it for,
and she says,
Dm C E F
"What do you think you're gonna do with your life?"
C D G
And I say, "You've got to teach me to drive."
Dm C E F
She just laughs at that, and musses my hair,
C D G E
and says, "Kid, you're lucky to be alive."
