It was late one night in Southern Texas
ABm
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
ABm
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
ABm
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
DC#mBm
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
ABm
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
C#m
And the world couldn't change my spirit
DC#mBm
This will remain the same
ABm
You were young and living like you wanted to
ABm
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
ABm
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
DC#mBm
Oh in so many ways you did
ABm
I don't want to have you worry no more
C#mD
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
C#mBm
So we can move on
GD
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
GD
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
GDGG#m
I would sit along side of the fence
ABm
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
ABm
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
ABm
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
DC#mBm
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
ABm
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
C#m
And the world couldn't change my spirit
DC#mBm
This will remain forever
ABm
I don't want to have you worry no more
C#mD
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
C#mBm
So we can move on
