[Intro]

GCGC

G

1.I made a wish upon a star

C

I could have a brand new car

G

Got tired of wishing

C

So I stole one

G

Seventeen and knew it all

C

My dreams were big but my thoughts were small

G

So many roads somehow I chose

C D

The wrong one

G

C.But Jesus and mama always loved me

C

Even when the devil took control

G C

Jesus and mama always loved me

D

This I know

2.I felt tried most all my life

Found new kinds of lows and highs

Never been a husband but I had a lot of wives

To hold me

Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told

Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode

A rainbow chaser hungry for gold

And still searchin'

Repeat Chorus

3.I wish mom could see me now

And how I've turned it all around

Lately I've been going down

The right road

Life's a picture that you paint

With blues and grays and cans of canvas

Heaven knows I'm not a saint

But I know

Repeat Chorus
