Verse 1
Dsus2 
D 
Bm 
I was born in 1977
To hear that Elvis died and went
Asus4 
to heaven
My momma worked at nighttime
D 
Dsus2 
singing cover songs
D 
My daddy was a lawman
Dsus2 
D 
with the FBI
Bm 
For cash money,
he'd do deals on the side
Asus4 
Mama said he even killed a man once,
never even got caught

Verse 2
D 
Well, they fought like hell
Dsus2 
D 
for several     years
Bm 
Then Ma told Pa, "Disappear"
Asus4 
That's when old Danno came in,
D 
Dsus2 
he changed my life
D 
I didn't see my real dad again
Dsus2 
D 
Bm 
until I was    12 years old
My mom pointed him out
Asus4 
in a record store
I walked up and said,
"My name's Bobby"
He said, "I'm Bobby too"
D 
Dsus2 

Verse 3
D 
He still didn't know just
Dsus2 
D 
Bm 
who      I was
Asus4 
I told him I was his eldest son
I could see the teardrops welling
D 
Dsus2 
up in his eyes
D 
He gave me his phone number,
Dsus2 
D 
and we said goodbye
Bm 
It was two months later
that old Bob died
Asus4 
With a needle in his arm in some
hotel room
D 

Verse 4
Dsus2 
D 
G 
They say some things in our
Asus4 
A 
D 
lives are best forgotten
G 
Asus4 
I say those are things that make
D 
Asus4 
D 
us who we are
G 
A 
So be proud of what you got and
D 
where you come from
G 
'Cause from blood to dust,
A 
you know it ain't very far

Interlude 1

Verse 5
D 
Next thing I know, I'm
Bm 
15 years old
Playing electric guitar
and smoking dope
Asus4 
It was then I dedicated my
D 
Dsus2 
D 
life to rock and roll
I had a drummer, and I had a band
Bm 
Nobody ever heard of us,
it was called Stick Man
Asus4 
We played all- ages shows 'til the cops
ran us out of town
D 
Dsus2 
D 

Verse 6
We moved to the big town,
Dsus2 
D 
chasing the dream
Bm 
We weren't cool enough
to make their scene
Asus4 
We just ended up drinking a lot,
getting all strung out
D 
Dsus2 
D 
Well, Miles moved to
Frisco and wound up dead
Bm 
Carl got clean and shaved his head
Asus4 
Old Mike Fisher went back home,
had a bunch of kids
D 

Verse 7
Now me, on the other hand, I had
Bm 
plans of my own
Asus4 
Broken- hearted, sick and alone
I was gonna kill myself,
D 
Dsus2 
D 
just like my old man
Something happened,
Bm 
I ain't sure what it was
Best I can figure is the Lord up above
Asus4 
'Cause I'm      sitting here
stone- cold and sober
D 
Singing these fucked- up songs

Verse 8
