    Verse 1
    I 
    drew 
    my 
    very 
    first 
    breath 

    in 
    a 
    driving 
    rain 

    Doing 
    90 
    miles 
    an 
    hour 

    on 
    a 
    westbound 
    train 

    My 
    mama 
    was 
    a 
    gypsy 
    and 
    my 

    daddy 
    was 
    a 
    rambling 
    man 

    And 
    I 
    could hitch 
    me 
    a 
    ride 

    before 
    I 
    learned 
    to 
    walk 

    I 
    hear 
    the 
    wind 
    and 
    I 
    heed 
    the 
    call 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    I'm 
    going 

    but 
    I'm 
    getting 
    there 

    as 
    fast 
    as 
    I 
    can
    , 
    yes 
    I 
    am, 
    you 
    got
    ta 
    hit 
    your 
    ground 
    running, 

    if 
    you're 
    gonna 
    make 
    time, 

    you 
    gotta 
    push 
    it 
    to 
    the 
    limit, 
    take 
    it 
    to 
    the 
    red 
    line, 

    life 
    is 
    a 
    highway, 
    if 
    you're 

    going 
    my 
    way, 
    you better 
    keep 
    it 
    up 
    to speed, 

    you 
    better 
    hit 
    your ground 
    run
    ning, 
    if 
    you're 

    If 
    with 
    me 

    Yeah, 
    you 
    gotta 
    hit 
    the ground 
    running 

    If 
    you're 
    coming 
    with 
    me 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    a 
    high 
    -rolling, 
    hard 
    -living, 

    good 
    -timing 
    man 

    Make 
    no 
    excuses 
    for 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    I 
    am 

    Gotta 
    get 
    my 
    legs 
    all 
    in 

    before 
    the 
    fat 
    lady 
    sings 

    It 
    makes 
    me 
    nervous 
    when 
    I try 
    to 
    sit 

    I 
    like 
    my 
    candles 
    with 
    both 
    ends 
    lit 

    A 
    little 
    hard 
    headed, 
    but 
    if 
    I 
    learn 
    one 
    thing 
    I 
    know, 

    I 
    know 
    you 
    gotta 
    hit 
    your 
    ground 
    and

    it 

    If 
    you're 
    gonna make 
    time 

    You 
    better

    red 
    line 

    You 
    see, 
    life

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
