Fingerpick Am7add9 intro 
 
 
Am7/add9 
He was 18 years of age, born to a dirt poor family 
       C            
In the middle of the Texas plains, no matter how hard he tried  
            Am7add9 
He couldn’t seem to please the young man staring back from the broken mirror  
      C                        G                             Am7add9        
So he packed his bags one night to go out and make it on his own 
 
As he traveled down that dusty drive, he took a glance in the rearview mirror 
He saw the shadow standing there he watched his father wave goodbye gently 
As if he seemed to say good luck son in everything you do 
We hope to see you soon 
  F                    G   
I don’t know where I'm going in my life 
         C      C/B     Am 
But I’ve got to find my way in this world 
F                  G 
I’ve done all that I can do here 
        C       C/B      Am   
There’s so much left for me to do 
F              G           C         C/B   Am 
I don’t really know if I'm doing the right thing 
          F                              G 
I'm gonna make a man out of myself if it kills me 
                                Am7add9 
You gotta make your dreams come true
 
 
  
He pulled into the city bright lights all around 
Cars flying by his old beat up truck 
Yeah he’s doubting himself a little but he knows he can’t turn back 
For the most he used to be is already gone there’s nothing left for him back home 
 
So he got a cheap apartment, spent his nights making cocktails 
At a local bar that was just right up the street 
It was 3 o’clock in the morning all the wanted was the tips he made that night 
But the country boy refused much to their surprise, they left him laying there in the street 
  
Chorus 
  
Solo 
 
His parents got a knock at the door the very next afternoon 
It was a young woman wearing a red t-shirt and jeans 
She said I'm your son’s wife and this here’s your grandson 
And here’s a letter he never got around to mailing you, I just thought you both should 
 
(And that letter said) 
 
Chorus 2:  
I finally know where my life’s headed to 
And I’ve finally found my place in this world 
I’ve done all that I know to do 
And I owe it all to what you put me through 
I just got married and I’ve got a son 
Dad I named him after you 
And I’ve made all my dreams come true
