    Verse 1
    I was 

    at that 
    smart 
    ass 
    time 
    of my life 

    Where 
    id pick 
    fight 
    just to 
    pick 
    a fight 

    If 
    he said 
    black, 
    I said 
    white 

    If he took 
    one 
    side 
    took 
    the other 
    side 

    The dinner 
    table 
    we 
    sat 
    around 

    Was 
    more 
    like 
    a battleground 

    And 
    lost 
    more 
    times 
    than 
    I won 

    Verse 2
    I would of 
    learned 
    later 
    on 

    That 
    he was 
    always 
    preaching 

    bout 
    his 
    past 

    I just 
    kept screaming" 
    Come on, 

    dad! 

    That was 
    twenty 
    years 
    ago 

    You 
    don't know 
    me 
    at all! 

    Trying 
    to talk 
    to 
    you 
    is 
    like 

    talking 
    to 
    the 
    wall 

    Yeah, 
    you gave 
    me 
    my 
    life, 

    but its my 
    life 
    to 
    live 

    Maybe 
    I don't 
    wan
    na 
    live 
    it like 
    you 
    did, 

    Twenty 
    years 
    ago" 

    Verse 3

    He was 
    built 
    with blue 
    collar 

    sweat and 
    blood 

    Squared 
    jaw 
    and 
    a crew 
    cut 

    purple 
    heart, 
    Viet 
    Vet. 

    He'd tell 
    you 
    every 
    chance 
    he'd get 

    Always 
    running 
    down 
    my 
    rock 
    n' roll, 


    My friends, 
    my hair, 
    my clothes. 

    But 
    one night 
    it 
    got 
    out 
    of control 

    And right 
    there 
    we came 
    to blows 

    And 
    that was 
    just 
    enough 
    to get 
    me 
    gone 

    couldn't 
    wait 
    to prove 

    him wrong! 

    Verse 4
    Twenty 
    years 
    ago 

    Struck 
    out 
    on my 
    own 

    Couldn't 
    tell 
    me 
    noth
    ing 

    That 
    didn't 
    already 
    know 

    Later 
    was on 
    my 
    way 

    To 
    what 
    the hell 
    did 
    I care 

    My 
    old man 
    and his gray 
    hair 

    Thought 
    about 
    the road 
    I chose 

    Twenty 
    years 
    ago 

    Verse 5
    "Well 

    I left 
    as fast 

    as the 
    leaves 
    fell that 
    autumn 

    I never looked 
    back 
    and I 

    never once 
    called 
    him 

    But every 
    time I 
    talked 
    to momma 

    I wondered 
    if he 
    was 
    there,or if 

    he even 
    cared 

    I figured 
    I walked 
    out 
    of him 
    and the 

    course of 
    our love 
    had run 

    Momma said 
    'no,no, 
    you 
    listen 
    to 
    me 
    son, 

    hes 
    a stubborn 
    man 
    and he 
    won't give 
    in. 

    He 
    be
    lieves 
    what he believes, 

    well you're 
    just 
    like 
    him' 

    Well 
    I could 
    tell by 
    her voice 
    there 

    was something 
    wrong 

    She broke 
    down, 

    and said 
    he 
    ain't got 
    long 

    So I 
    caught the 
    next plane 
    home, 

    Thought 
    about all 
    the years 
    gone 

    Had my 
    pride 
    that I let so 
    much 
    time 
    go by 

    ran up 
    those stairs 
    and stood 

    by his 
    bed 

    And I cried" 

    Verse 6
    Twenty 
    years 
    ago 

    Thought 
    I knew 
    it all 

    But trying 
    to talk 
    to 
    me 

    Was like 
    talking 
    to 
    a wall 

    thought 
    I was 
    a man 

    Acting 
    like 
    did 

    But 
    all I 
    want 
    right 
    now 

    Is 
    just 
    to be 
    your kid 

    Just 
    before 
    my 
    dad 
    gave 
    up the 
    ghost 

    He 
    took my 
    hand 
    and said 
    "son 
    let it 
    go, 

    that was 
    twenty 
    years 
    ago"

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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

      Tuliketsune

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
