I Chose This Road

I chose this road
F
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             
I just kept rollin anyways on to 
G
better days

             C
I chose this road
          F
I've been blinded, divided, reunited
F                           
Held together with prayer and 
                     C
nickle-coated wire guitar strings
  F
I scraped my ass of every rough 
patch but I kept dreaming bout green
 grass
        F       C                 
And the day I'd grow some wings, 
           G
get me some beautiful wings

Continues after the ad
      F
I met pilgrims and seekers, 
lion-hearted preachers and tea-leaf 
readers
             C
Yeah, I like folks who hear a call
F
Wise outsiders, barrel riders, 
pilots of jet plane fighters,
        C                          
Watched some of 'em fall, but I 
            G
tell you, I’ve loved them all

Bridge:
             F
I chose this road, and I'd do it 
again, I'd grab the wind, take 
another spin

I chose this road
      F
Yeah, Tennessee nearly got the best 
of me
    F                    
And when I leave, I'll go 
                      C
thankfully, with the tip of my hat
    F
And when I am tempted to regret ever
 leaving Texas I just remember
      F                         C 
She's always been right here in 
me, and that's a fact, you can bet 
   G
your ranch on that

I chose this road
                 F
And I've been as lucky as lucky 
gets, a tune in every step
F                                 
And for every regret, there's been
   C
 a bucket of joy
       F
And if God sheds some more grace, 
and the creek stays in its place
   F                               
I might stay in the race long 
     C                        
enough to meet my little boy's 
   G
little boy

feels
