C

I chose this road

F

Straight from the Texas Hill Country, a natural born highway junkie

F C

Never much money but I always kept some faith

F

And sometimes without knowing where I was going

F C G

I just kept rollin anyways on to better days

C

I chose this road

F

I've been blinded, divided, reunited

F C

Held together with prayer and nickle-coated wire guitar strings

F

I scraped my ass of every rough patch but I kept dreaming bout green grass

F C G

And the day I'd grow some wings, get me some beautiful wings

C

I chose this road

F

I met pilgrims and seekers, lion-hearted preachers and tea-leaf readers

C

Yeah, I like folks who hear a call

F

Wise outsiders, barrel riders, pilots of jet plane fighters,

C G

Watched some of ‘em fall, but I tell you, I’ve loved them all

Bridge:

F

I chose this road, and I'd do it again, I'd grab the wind, take another spin

C

I chose this road

F

Yeah, Tennessee nearly got the best of me

F C

And when I leave, I'll go thankfully, with the tip of my hat

F

And when I am tempted to regret ever leaving Texas I just remember

F C G

She's always been right here in me, and that's a fact, you can bet your ranch on that

Bridge

C

I chose this road

F

And i've been as lucky as lucky gets, a tune in every step

F C

And for every regret, there's been a bucket of joy

F

And if God sheds some more grace, and the creek stays in its place

F C G

I might stay in the race long enough to meet my little boy's little boy

C

I chose this road

F C F

Yea I chose this road and i'd do it again

F C F

I chose this road I like the way it feels

F

I chose this road
