Verse 1
(G major) I grew up
in a town where tough was a cigarette (Gsus4)
(G major) And a souped up car on a

(G major) Nothin' much to do back then
so we'd make bets (Gsus4)
(G major) On how much drink a guy could hold
And I held my (C major) own
Verse 2
I learned to hold my (G major) own

(G major)
Daddy works some dead- end
(C major) job at the concrete plant (G major)

thinkin'
That there was more to life than that so I
ran the streets to beat the Dev (C major) il

When I felt the tire slip out
from underneath (D major)
(G major) And I never set out lookin' for Jesus
So I guess Jesus come lookin' for me
Verse 7
And He found me upset (C major)
down in a ditch
Smokin' gas in my (G major) eyes

(D major) You didn't come here to die"
(G major)

(C major) Sunday morning I got up
and I (G major) went to church

On a (B flat major) little house with a yard (A minor)

(G major) Our little boy was due (C major) in September (G major) (C major)

Was sittin' there at his side

Son, you came here to (A minor) live"
