(Verse)
He was (D)17, (Em) quarterback on the (G)home team
On the back road and (D)in between his (Em)fifth and sixth beer (G)
Then he saw those (D)blue lights (Em) and couldn't walk that (G)straight line
His daddy cussed and (D)mama cried when they (Em)bailed him outts there (G)
He got (A) in the truck they said you (Bm)got what you de-(G)served
Brought (A)him a button up and (Bm)drug his butt to church (G)

(Chorus)
Said boy you need the (D)good book bad
All your running a-(A)round’s gotta slow down a little
You're living just a (G)little too fast
You gotta meet the (Bm)man somewhere in the (A)middle
Sometimes you gotta (D)take a step back, look at you and ask
(A)Who you are down in your heart and you ain't that (Bm)far off track (A)
It ain't that (G)hard to get back
You just need the (D)good book bad (Em) (G)

(Verse)
He was (D)28 (Em) they thought they were (G)gonna wait
About a week from the (D)due date, (Em)he'll never forget (G)
When she (D)woke him up in the (Em)dead of the night
Said (G)grab the bag I think it's time
When the (A)rest of his life got (Bm)there
He (G)looked at the man in the mirror

(Chorus)
Said boy you need the (D)good book bad
All your running a-(A)round’s gotta slow down a little
You're living just a (G)little too fast
You gotta meet the (Bm)man somewhere in the (A)middle
Sometimes you gotta (D)take a step back, look at you and ask
(A)Who you are down in your heart and you ain't that (Bm)far off track (A)
It ain't that (G)hard to get back
You just need the (D)good book bad (A)
