1.There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station 
                            D         G 
  He said Music City is my destination 
                C                       D 
  He said the whole wide world's gonna sing my songs 
               G                   C 
  And you can take that to the bank 
 
  Because... 
 
  G          C 
C. I'm on a mission 
  G          C 
   I'm on a mission 
  G   D                      G 
   I'm on a mission from Hank 
 
2.He got a furnished room and a job at the market 
  He kept a little notebook in his back pocket 
  And every time you'd see him he was writing a song, 
  And he'd never leave one page blank 
  He'd say... 
 
C. 
   G        Csus   C  Dsus  D            G 
B1.Well, he sang when no   one would listen 
          Csus    C        Em            D 
   So, he sang until they hung on every word 
 
3.But then one day his phone started ringing 
  They said we want you and the songs you've been singing 
  And the kid said fine just give me some time 
  To talk to my patron saint 
  You see... 
 
C. 
 
B2.That night as he laid in the darkness 
   Old Luke the Drifter came to him and said 
 
4.Now here's your chance boy go on and take it 
  Just sing from the heart and you're gonna make it 
  But if anybody tries to change you 
  Into something that you ain't 
  You tell them...
