Capo 1
G Cadd9 G
I grew up in the country, six kids in a two room shack
G D Cadd9 G
Soon as I learned those three chords, I had a guitar on my back
G Cadd9 G
I wanted to carry a football that dream came and went real soon
G D Cadd9 G
Made it through two years of college, thank God I could carry a tune
G cadd9 D Cadd9 G
Nah nah, yeah, thank God, I could carry a tune
Chorus:
Cadd9 G Em D
I've known love, I've known pain, gotta little rusty in the rain
Cadd9 G Em D
I've been lost, I've been found, I left my mark on a little bitty town
Cadd9 G Em D
Yeah, raised me a few good babies, raised me a whole lotta hell
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
And if I ever get to heaven, I'm gonna have a story to tell, yeah
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
If I get there, I'm gonna have a story to tell
Well, I drank a lot of cheap whiskey, shut down too many bars
Low as a dog in the valley and high as the Carolina stars
I've kissed some girls, still miss some girls, most beautiful you've ever seen
I gave my heart to a woman who didn't give a damn about me
Chorus
Bridge:
Em G Cadd9 G
It's got some parts that'll make you laugh and some that'll make you cry
Em G Cadd9
Some pages I wish I could tear out But I ain't gonna tell no lie cause it's the story of my life
G Cadd9 G
Now I can't preach or give no advice, I didn't do everything well
G D Cadd9 G
But man, just live while you're alive and try to have a story to tell
Chorus
I've known love, I've known pain Gotta little rusty in the rain
I've been lost, I've been found, I left my mark on a little bitty town
Yeah, raised me a few good babies, I raised me a whole lotta hell
And if I get to heaven, I'm gonna have some story to tell, yeah
If I get there, I'll have a real good story to tell
Nah nah, yeah, I've a real good story to tell
