[Verse]
He was sGadd9ixteen, tender and Dsus2tough
She was Gadd9too, and he'd do anything to pA7rove his love
With Gso much D/F#riding Emon the chA7oice at hBmand
The D/Aspirit of a bGoy or the wA7isdom of a Dsus2man
Hearts caught Gadd9fire and love ran Dsus2wild
She cried the Gadd9day she called to say she was having his A7child
With Gso much D/F#riding Emon the chA7oice at hBmand
The D/Aspirit of a Gboy or the wisdom of a Aman
[Bridge]
There's a A/C#constant contradiAction, what feels gGood and what feels Dright
But you Glive with decisions that you Dmake in your lAife
And what A/C#steers your directAion is hEmard to undersBmtand
The D/Aspirit of a Gboy or the wisdom of a mAan
[Verse]
Now he drives a dGadd9iesel out of Dallas, hauling Dsus2cars out to the coast
It ain't the dGadd9ream that he remembered, just a fAew short yearA7sus4s agoA7  
But tonight at a Gtruck stop, while drinking a Dsus2cup
The wGaitress grins and winks at him and says, A7sus4"My shift's almost A7up"
With Gso much D/F#riding Emon the choice at hBmand
The Dspirit of a Gboy or the wAisdom of a Dman
With Gso much D/F#riding Emon the choice at hBmand
The spirit of a Gboy or the wisdom of a mDan
