I Chose This Road

I chose this road
F
Straight from the Texas Hill Country, a natural born highway junkie
F                      C
Never much money but I always kept some faith
F
And sometimes without knowing where I was going
F                  C             G
I just kept rollin anyways on to better days
             C
I chose this road
          F
I've been blinded, divided, reunited
F                                                C
Held together with prayer and nickle-coated wire guitar strings
  F
I scraped my ass of every rough patch but I kept dreaming bout green grass
        F       C                            G
And the day I'd grow some wings, get me some beautiful wings
             C
I chose this road
      F
I met pilgrims and seekers, lion-hearted preachers and tea-leaf readers
             C
Yeah, I like folks who hear a call
F
Wise outsiders, barrel riders, pilots of jet plane fighters,
        C                                      G
Watched some of 'em fall, but I tell you, I’ve loved them all
Bridge:
             F
I chose this road, and I'd do it again, I'd grab the wind, take another spin
             C
I chose this road
      F
Yeah, Tennessee nearly got the best of me
    F                                          C
And when I leave, I'll go thankfully, with the tip of my hat
    F
And when I am tempted to regret ever leaving Texas I just remember
      F                         C                                       G
She's always been right here in me, and that's a fact, you can bet your ranch on that

I chose this road
                 F
And I've been as lucky as lucky gets, a tune in every step
F                                    C
And for every regret, there's been a bucket of joy
       F
And if God sheds some more grace, and the creek stays in its place
   F                                    C                           G
I might stay in the race long enough to meet my little boy's little boy
             C
I chose this road
F                C                   F
Yea I chose this road and i'd do it again
  F          C      F
I chose this road I like the way it feels
F
