G C G

He was sixteen tender and tough

C G D

She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love

C D G

With so much riding on the choice at hand

C G

the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

C G

Hearts caught fire and love ran wild

C G D

She cried the day she called to say she was having his child

C D G

With so much riding on the choice at hand

C D

the spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

C G

There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what feels right

C D

But, you live with decisions that you make in your life

C G D C

And what steers your direction is hard to understand

C D

The spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

D C

Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas

G

Hauling cars out to the coast

C G D

It ain't the dream that he remembers just a few short years ago

C G

But, tonight at a truckstop, while drinking a cup

C G

The waitress grins and winks at him

C D

And says my shift's almost up

C D G

With so much riding on the choice at hand

C D

the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

C D G

With so much riding on the choice at hand

C G

the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
