CWhen I was Amborn they Gsaid I could have Cdied.
My Cfather did Amweep and my Gmother, she Ccried.
FAlthough my Clungs were Gwithered iCnside,
AmA two pound Gboy was Calive.C  
CMany months Amlater GI was taken Chome,
To a Cnice little Amhouse where I Gmended my Cbones.
I would Fsit in the Ctree that once Gbordered the Croad,
Watch the Amworld as Git turned so Cslow.C  
COnce I was Amseven we Gpacked up our Cthings,
And Cmoved to PAmA where the Gsetting sun Cbrings,
The Fbeauty of Clife to the Gvalleys and Csprings,
And the Amsound of the Gpartridge does Cring.C  
CAs I grew Amolder my life Gdoubled in Csize,
The Ctops of the Amhills arched their Gbacks towards the Cskies.
‘Cause Fnature you Cknow, does Gsink and does Crise,
Like the Amocean, so Gold and so Cwise.C  
CI rAmemember when I Gplayed my first Cshow,
The Cmusic pulAmsated with those Gin the front Crow.
FSpring claimed the Cair as the Gclouds hung so Clow,
“In a Amyear, a Gyear or Cso”.C  
CSometimes when AmI lie Gawake late at Cnight,
I Cwatch the Amshadows that trickle Gfrom the house Clight.
The Fpatterns move sClow like those Gborn without Csight,
When you Amsleep your Glife seems so Cbright.C  
CNow that I’ve Amgrown up, I’ll Gsoon leave my Chome,
And Cpack up the Ampictures of the Gones I did Cknow.
I’ll Fnever forCget all the Gplaces I Croamed,
PennsyAmlvania, the Glove you have Cshown.C  
FI do not Cknow if God is Greal or a Clie,
AmBut oh well, I thank GGod I’m Calive.

C Am G C

When I was born they said I could have died.

C Am G C

My father did weep and my mother, she cried.

F C G C

Although my lungs were withered inside,

Am G C C

A two pound boy was alive.

C Am G C

Many months later I was taken home,

C Am G C

To a nice little house where I mended my bones.

F C G C

I would sit in the tree that once bordered the road,

Am G C C

Watch the world as it turned so slow.

C Am G C

Once I was seven we packed up our things,

C Am G C

And moved to PA where the setting sun brings,

F C G C

The beauty of life to the valleys and springs,

Am G C C

And the sound of the partridge does ring.

C Am G C

As I grew older my life doubled in size,

C Am G C

The tops of the hills arched their backs towards the skies.

F C G C

‘Cause nature you know, does sink and does rise,

Am G C C

Like the ocean, so old and so wise.

C Am G C

I remember when I played my first show,

C Am G C

The music pulsated with those in the front row.

F C G C

Spring claimed the air as the clouds hung so low,

Am G C C

“In a year, a year or so”.

C Am G C

Sometimes when I lie awake late at night,

C Am G C

I watch the shadows that trickle from the house light.

F C G C

The patterns move slow like those born without sight,

Am G C C

When you sleep your life seems so bright.

C Am G C

Now that I’ve grown up, I’ll soon leave my home,

C Am G C

And pack up the pictures of the ones I did know.

F C G C

I’ll never forget all the places I roamed,

Am G C C

Pennsylvania, the love you have shown.

F C G C

I do not know if God is real or a lie,

Am G C

But oh well, I thank God I’m alive.
