Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The sun just got through going down

 on a sleepy little Texas town

 population plus one, minus one

 A new grandma rocks my sister's kid

 just like twenty years ago she did

 the same thing in that same chair

 she said this one's born to run

Everyday at noon like a chapel bell

find her,Jesus,keep her well

help her do more right than wrong,

at the end of the day

I've got five good years and a tank of gas,

fifty watts and Johnny Cash

a guitar and a broken heart just full of things to say

 You taught me how to stand those tests and trials

 but you can't see a desert sunrise in the bible

(Chorus):

 She loves me more than anything

 and she wants the world for me

 Her west dropped off in El Paso,

 and her north in Abilene

 Mama I'm Okay out here

 I've seen how hard the world can be

 My step is sure and I know my name

 I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be

 I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be

 If I had done what you and daddy'd done

 I would have never lost and never won

 or gotten myself kicked when I was down

 I would not know how to travel well

 A hundred bucks and cheap motels

 I would not know how to fight for my own

 heart next time around

 Don't you cry another night about me

 In this city I've got angels all around me

(Chorus):

She loves me more than anything

And she wants the world for me

Her west dropped of in El Paso

And her north in Abilene

Hey Mama I'm okay out here

I've seen how hard the world can be

My step is sure and I know my name

I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be

I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be

 I felt it every time you prayed for me

 I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
