Tuning: EADGBE

G                          C                                 Am                   Em
From the day I was born there was a light that called my name, buried deep somewhere in my soul
      G                                 C                               Am                            Em
And I thought it disappeared through my darlin's golden tears and if I followed, then I would lose control
        Am                             Em
Woah, I followed then I would lose control

        G                      C                  Am                                 Em
Like an outlaw runnin' from a hangman's noose, I wander through the dark between the hills
      G                             C                         Am                              Em
I was hidin' from the sun, in the shadows I did run, (I was neglectin' what my soul would reveal x2)

G                 C                   Am                Em
Hungry as a hound, drunk as a skunk I dragged my weight on home
       G                            C                             Am                                Em
And I thought it didn't show, but a mother always knows, (all the scars that left to fester on your soul x2)

         G                       C                         Am                             Em
Well the sky'd been cryin', for three damn weeks, day they let me outta that Turney Texas jail
      G              C                        Am                       Em
I was walkin' I-35, tryna bum a ride (wishin' god would let me out of myself x2)

       G                              C                      Am                        Em
Well I stared up at the sky I said oh-why-oh-why lord you've left me all broken in the cold
       G                           C                         Am                   Em
And I swallowed my pride enough to ask you for a sign, (lord let me know I'm not alone x2)

      G                          C                   Am                           Em
And I saw break lights, and with tears in my eyes, I walked to the passenger side door.
        C               Am                  Em
He said boy I know what you've been prayin' for

         G                             C                                   Am                     Em
From the day you were born there was a light that called your name, buried deep somewhere in your soul
       G                             C
And it brought you the truth, and it made you confused,
             Am                            Em                    Am
if you don't follow, then you will lose control, no if you don't follow,
                       Em
