GI'm gonna quit singing all these sad songs G7cause I can’t stand the Cpain
Oh the life I sing Gabout now and the one I live is the D7same
When I Gsing them old songs of daddy’s G7seems like every one comes Ctrue
Lord please help me do I Ghave to be D7the living Gproof
Why just the other night after the show an G7old drunk came up to Cme
Said you ain’t as good as your Gdaddy boy and you never will D7be
Then a Gyoung girl in old blue jeans said G7I’m your biggest Cfan
It's a good thing I was Gborn Gemini D7cause I’m living for more than one Gman
Remember Jimmy and Hank and Johnny they G7were in the summer of Clife
When you called them Gaway Lord I don’t want to pay that D7price
Don’t Glet my son ever touch a guitar G7may he never sing the Cblues
Let him be free don’t Gmake him be D7more living Gproof
I don’t want to be a legend I G7just want to be a Cman
But lord you know someGtimes I’ve needed a helping D7hand
And it Gain’t been so easy lately I’ve G7had to go it all Calone
But I’ve always had anyGthing I’ve ever wanted D7except a Ghome
Repeat #1
CLord please help me I Gwanna be D7the living Gproof
