Capo on 8. Enjoy!
GAlways been a fighter, scrapper, and a clawer
CUsed up some luck and Glawyers
Like HCuck from Tom GSawyer jumped on my Draft
And shoved off chasing Gmy dreams
Reeling in big fishes
I had some Chits, a few big Gmisses
I gCave 'em hell and got a few Gstitches
And these Ddays, I show off my scars
With Cone arm around my baby
And Gone arm around my boys
A hCeart that's still pretty crazy
And a hEmead that hates the Dnoise
If the woCrld comes kDnocking
GTell 'em I'm not Emhome
I'm fCinally Dholdin' my Gown
GI've burned up the fast lane
CDodging drugs and Gdivorce
CIf I'm proof of Ganything
God sure loves DTroubadours
GSometimes, late at night
CI miss the smoke and Gneon
CSneak out of bed, grab a Gsix-string
Play what's Dstill turnin' me on
Like that Gtight old-time rock and roll
Or that rCight-down-home country gold
GI miss blues and soul
But not Dmore than I miss being Ghome
With oCne arm around my baby
And Gone arm around my boys
A hCeart that's still pretty crazy
And a Emhead that hates the Dnoise
If the woCrld comes kDnocking
GTell 'em I'm not Emhome
I'm fCinally Dholdin' my Gown
         Am'Til I Grun out of Ctime
          AmI'm gonna Gspend the rest of CmiiiiDine
With oCne arm around my baby
And Gone arm around my boys
A hCeart that's still pretty crazy
And a hEmead that hates the Dnoise
If the woCrld comes kDnocking
GTell 'em I'm not Emhome
I'm fCinally Dholdin' my Gown
And Cwhen my time on DEarth is done
I hope they Gwrite it on my Emstone
I Clived, loved, and Ddied holdin' my Gown
I Clived, loved, and Ddied holdin' my Gown

Capo on 8. Enjoy!

Always been a fighter, scrapper, and a clawer

C G

Used up some luck and lawyers

C G D

Like Huck from Tom Sawyer jumped on my raft

And shoved off chasing my dreams

Reeling in big fishes

C G

I had some hits, a few big misses

C G

I gave 'em hell and got a few stitches

And these days, I show off my scars

With one arm around my baby

And one arm around my boys

A heart that's still pretty crazy

Em D

And a head that hates the noise

C D

If the world comes knocking

G Em

Tell 'em I'm not home

C D G

I'm finally holdin' my own

I've burned up the fast lane

C G

Dodging drugs and divorce

C G

If I'm proof of anything

God sure loves Troubadours

Sometimes, late at night

C G

I miss the smoke and neon

C G

Sneak out of bed, grab a six-string

Play what's still turnin' me on

Like that tight old-time rock and roll

Or that right-down-home country gold

I miss blues and soul

D G

But not more than I miss being home

With one arm around my baby

And one arm around my boys

A heart that's still pretty crazy

Em D

And a head that hates the noise

C D

If the world comes knocking

G Em

Tell 'em I'm not home

C D G

I'm finally holdin' my own

Am G C

'Til I run out of time

Am G C D

I'm gonna spend the rest of miiiiine

With one arm around my baby

And one arm around my boys

A heart that's still pretty crazy

Em D

And a head that hates the noise

C D

If the world comes knocking

G Em

Tell 'em I'm not home

C D G

I'm finally holdin' my own

C D

And when my time on Earth is done

G Em

I hope they write it on my stone

C D G

I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own

C D G

I lived, loved, and died holdin' my own
