[Intro]
D Cadd9 G
D Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
D Cadd9 G
On a Greyhound thirty miles beyond Jamestown
D Cadd9 G
He saw the sunset on the Tennessee line
D Cadd9 G
He looked at the young man who was riding beside him
D Cadd9 G
He said I'm old kind of worn out inside
D Cadd9 G
I worked my whole life in the steel mills near Gary
D Cadd9 G
And my father before me I helped build this land
D Cadd9 G
Now I'm seventy-seven and with God as my witness
D Cadd9 G
I earned every dollar that passed through my hands
A G
My family and friends are the best things I've known
A G
Through the eye of the needle, I'll carry them home
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D Cadd9 G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D Cadd9 G
You are young and you are the future
A
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can
[Verse 2]
D Cadd9 G
The rain hit the old dog in the twilight's last gleaming
D Cadd9 G
He said Son it sounds like rattling old bones
D Cadd9 G
This highway is long but I know some that are longer
D Cadd9 G
By sunup tomorrow I guess I'll be home
D Cadd9 G
Through the hills of Kentucky 'cross the Ohio river
D Cadd9 G
The old man kept talking 'bout his life and his times
D Cadd9 G
He fell asleep with his head against the window
D Cadd9 G
He said an honest man's pillow is his peace of mind
A G
This world offers riches and riches will grow wings
A G
I don't take stock in those uncertain things
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D Cadd9 G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D Cadd9 G
You are young and you are the future
D Cadd9 G
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can
[Verse 3]
D Cadd9 G
The old man had a vision but it was hard for me to follow
D Cadd9 G
I do things my way and I pay a high price
D Cadd9 G
When I think back on the old man and the bus ride
D Cadd9 G
Now that I'm older I can see he was right
[Bridge]
A G
Another hot one out on highway eleven
A G
This is my life It's what I've chosen to do
A G
There's no free rides, no one said it'd be easy
A G
The old man told me this my son I'm telling it to you
[Chorus]
D Cadd9 G
Days turn to minutes and minutes to memories
D Cadd9 G
Life sweeps away the dreams that we have planned
D Cadd9 G
You are young and you are the future
D Cadd9 G
So suck it up and tough it out and be the best you can
[Outro]
D Cadd9 G
