    Verse 1
    I 
    grew 
    up 
    in 

    a town 
    where 
    tough 
    was 
    a cigarette 

    And a 
    souped 
    up 
    car 
    on 

    a county 
    road 

    Nothin' 
    much 
    to do 
    back 
    then 

    So we'd 
    make 
    bets 

    On 
    how much 
    drink 
    a guy 
    could 
    hold 

    And I 
    held 
    my 
    own 

    Learn to 
    hold 
    my 
    own 

    Verse 2

    Daddy 
    works 
    some 
    dead- 
    end 

    job 
    at the 
    concrete 
    plant 

    Mama 
    taught 
    the Sunday 
    bible 
    class 

    For 
    eighteen 
    years 
    I remember 

    thinkin' 

    There was 
    more 
    to life 
    than that 

    So 
    I ran 
    the streets 
    to 
    beat 
    the Devil 

    Goin' 
    just 
    as 
    fast 
    as 
    I 
    could 
    fly 

    'Cause 
    I came 
    here 
    to live 

    I didn't 
    come 
    here to 
    die 


    Verse 3
    Mama 
    used 
    to wait 
    for 
    me 

    with 
    the 
    porch 
    light 
    on 

    Worried 
    about 
    her 
    little 
    boy 
    'til 
    I got 
    home 

    Daddy 
    he'd 
    say 
    listen 
    son 

    But 
    back 
    then 
    there 
    wasn't 
    much 

    That I 
    didn't 
    already 
    know 


    Verse 4
    I reckon 
    I 
    was 
    doing 
    close 
    to 
    80 

    When I 
    felt 
    the tire 
    slip 

    out from 
    under 
    me 

    And I 
    never 
    set 
    out 
    lookin' 
    for Je
    sus 

    So 
    I guess 
    Jesus 
    come 
    lookin' 
    for me 

    And He 
    found 
    me 
    upset 

    down 
    in 
    a ditch 

    Smokin' 
    gas 
    in 
    my 
    eyes 

    And He said 
    son 
    you 
    came 

    here 
    to live 

    You didn't 
    come 
    here 
    to die 


    Verse 5
    Sunday 
    morning 
    I got 
    up 

    and I 
    went 
    to church 

    That 
    summer 
    I 
    got 
    a job 

    and 
    I 
    went to 
    work 

    Met a 
    girl 
    in 
    town 
    put some 
    money 
    down 

    On 
    a 
    little 
    house 
    with 
    a yard 


    Verse 6
    Our 
    little 
    boy 
    was 
    due 
    in 
    September 

    But 
    he came 
    early 
    in July 

    For 
    eighteen 
    days 
    all 
    I 

    remember 

    Was 
    settin' 
    there 
    at 
    his side 

    Sayin' 
    son 
    open 
    up 
    your 
    eyes 

    Just 
    open 
    up 
    your 
    eye
    s 

    'Cause you 
    came 
    here 
    to live 

    You didn't 
    come 
    here 
    to die 

    Son 
    you came 
    here 
    to live

      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.
