Standard (EADGBE)

I made a wish upon a star

I could have a brand new car

Got tired of wishing

 So I stole one

Seventeen and knew it all

My dreams were big but my thoughts were small

So many roads somehow I chose

 The wrong one

But Jesus and mama always loved me

Even when the devil took control

Jesus and mama always loved me

 This I know

I felt trapped most all my life

Found new kinds of lows and highs

Never been a husband but I've had a

lot of wives To hold me

Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told

Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode

A rainbow chaser hungry for gold

And still searchin'

Repeat Chorus

I wish mom could see me now

And how I've turned it all around

Lately I've been going down

The right road

Life's a picture that you paint

With blues and grays and can's and cant's

Heaven knows I'm not a saint

But I know

Repeat Chorus
