[Verse]

   C                       F
Three weeks before I could even meet
              Dm                      G
My brother's son, didn't see him turn one or two
   C                         F
Three months I haven't made Sunday service once
                Dm            G
I'm out on the road praying alone
       C                          F
Every night for a sign that I'm doin' this right
         Am                          G
And I'm right where I'm supposed to be


[Chorus]

 C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
     G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
   C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
      G
Have given me some of my best years
F                                      C     Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
     F                              Dm                 C
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio


[Verse]

   C                         F                      Dm
Three years of wishing that he was here holding my hand
              G        C
No I didn't plan for those three words
          F
To be the ones that hurt
                      Dm                 G
They don't sound the same from so far away, oh my


[Chorus]

 C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
     G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
   C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
      G
Have given me some of my best years
F                                      C      Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
     F                              Dm                 C
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio


[Instrumental]

 C        F        Am    G    F    Dm


[Bridge]

                   C
I do it for the three girls
                 F
At my show that saved up for the third row
           Am                           G
And the three times that I heard just this week that my words
                  C
Were sang by a three year old
                 F
Hairbrush for a microphone
                     Am
Little girl with a dream
                   G
And that girl was me, yeah


[Chorus]

 C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
     G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
   C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
      G
Have given me some of my best years
F                                      C     Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
     F                      Dm
Six years of missing home
               Bb                        F                 C        F
But I'd spend fifty more gone for three minutes on the radio
