D               A               G                       D
Momma told me when I was young son don't you play that guitar
        D                           A                         G                D 
But I'm living how I'm living and doing what i'm doing and I just got to me a star
        D            A                          G                    D
Now I'm up on stage strumming my six-string and playing in this old bar
    D             A                     G                D
And everynight I pray to the Lord some day that I'll go far


D                  G
I'm rockin my life away
D                   G
I'm rollin my life away
         D
And I'm doing what I'm doing
         A   
And I'm living what I'm living
      G                      D
And I'm doing just fine this way


I'm playing all night in these run down bars just trying to get ahead

But it's what I choose and I can't go back on this old life I've led

There are some nights I get lucky and I take a barmaid to bed

But in her arms I can't help but think about my guitar instead

Chorus

One of these days you just might see me coming to your town

You know I would give anything just to hear you screaming loud

But if I never make it and I never get farther than where I am at now

You know I wouldn't change it for anything and I'll get by somehow


Chorus 2X
