Em       D        G
It was a big big world,
               C
but we thought we were bigger.
                           D
Pushing each other to the limits,

we were learning quicker.
Em          D
By eleven smoking herb
             G
and drinking burning liquor
C                            D
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.

Em            D       G
I always have that dream
                     C
like my Daddy before me
                       D
So I started writing songs

I started writing stories
Em          D        G
Something about that glory,
                      C
just always seemed to bore me,
                          D
Cause only those I really love

will ever really know me

Em                D       G
Once I was twenty years old,
              C

before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Em                D       G          C
Once I was twenty years old
Em             D
I only see my goals,
          G
I don't believe in failure.
C                         D
Cause I know the smallest voices,

they can make it major,
Em                 D            G
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
C                            D
and if we don´t see before I leave,

I hope to see you later.
