DmDm FF C majorC G+G
Grew up in a small town twenty miles from the state line

Learned early on to work hard for what I thought was mine

In the town that I call home there are two types of folks
DmDm C majorC G+G
Those that find their way out and there's those that don't

So I packed up like a freight train and I headed towards the lights

But the back of my daddy's Chevrolet was as far as I got that Saturday night

Lord did she let me down

And left me here alone to die in this God-forsaken, one-horse town

Just a gambler out here waitin' on my winnin' hand

My daddy taught me the lesson he had to teach himself
DmDm C majorC G+G
And to me that's more important than any kind of man-made wealth
