Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G

Verse 1:
D              Cadd9               G
On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown
D              Cadd9               G
He saw the sunset on the Tennessee line
D              Cadd9               G
He looked at the young man who was riding beside him
D              Cadd9               G
He said I'm old kind of worn out inside
D              Cadd9               G
I worked my whole life in the steel mills near Gary
D              Cadd9               G
And my father before me I helped build this land
D              Cadd9               G
Now I'm seventy-seven and with God as my witness
D              Cadd9               G
I earned every dollar that passed through my hands
A                             G
My family and friends are the best things I've known
A                             G
Through the eye of the needle, I'll carry them home
🎸

Chorus:
D              Cadd9               G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D              Cadd9               G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D              Cadd9               G
You are young and you are the future
A
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can

Verse 2:
D              Cadd9               G
The rain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming
D              Cadd9               G
He said Son it sounds like rattling old bones
D              Cadd9               G
This highway is long but I know some that are longer
D              Cadd9               G
By sunup tomorrow I guess I'll be home
D              Cadd9               G
Through the hills of Kentucky 'cross the Ohio river
D              Cadd9               G
The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times
D              Cadd9               G
He fell asleep with his head against the window
D              Cadd9               G
He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind
A                            G
This world offers riches and riches will grow wings
A                            G
I don't take stock in those uncertain things

Chorus:
D              Cadd9               G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D              Cadd9               G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D              Cadd9               G
You are young and you are the future
D              Cadd9               G
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can

Verse 3:
D              Cadd9               G
The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow
D              Cadd9               G
I do things my way and I pay a high price
D              Cadd9               G
When I think back on the old man and the bus ride
D              Cadd9               G
Now that I'm older I can see he was right

Bridge:
A                      G
Another hot one out on highway eleven
A                      G
This is my life It's what I've chosen to do
A                      G
There's no free rides, no one said it'd be easy
A                               G
The old man told me this my son I'm telling it to you

Chorus:
D              Cadd9               G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D              Cadd9               G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D              Cadd9               G
You are young and you are the future
D              Cadd9               G
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can
