  			 D9 
My mama always told me 
                                     G 
Son, you'd best go easy down that road" 
        D9 
And she said she was sorry 
                                         G 
For all the times she couldn't save my soul 
         A4                            G 
Shoulda listened to her words a little more 

A4                                              G 
Before I packed up and I walked right out that door 
     
 D9 
Daddy always told me 
                                      G 
Son, you'd better love the best you can" 

 D9 
And "Don't look back and be sorry 
                                       G 
These moments won't be comin' 'round again" 
         A4                                  G 
But I feel like I could conquer the whole world 

 A4                                             G 
When I look up and see those three little girls 
D9                           A4 
But I get lost, I can't find my way 
G                                      D9 
All my pieces glued together for the world to see 
D9                                 A4 
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some 
G                                                 D9 
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done  
D9 
Now a preacher man once told me 
                                  G 
Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved" 
        D9 
And he said, "Life is full of choices 
                                           G 
And He sees all the bad ones that you've made 
 A4                                                 G 
And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell 
    A4                           G 
But goddamn all the stories I can tell 
               D9                    A4 
Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way 
       G                              D9 
All my pieces glued together for the world to see 
    D9                           A4 
Mistakes I've made, consumed by some 
   G                                                  D9 
Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done 
D9 
So my mama always told me 
                                   G 
 Son, you'd best go easy down that road"
