27 Years

Intro (x2) Verse Long as I'm alive, I will be my father's son. Go from town to town to find my way. Playing this guitar and singing songs about these roads, I went down from the time I was a child. There was good hearted women. There was sunshine. There was rain. The whole world changed around me - I'm the same. Tomorrow is a cloudy shade of all I've done 'til now. Drinking all my beer and whiskey 'for I go to lay me down. The road will give you pleasure. Oh the road will bring you pain. The truth of life gets tested as you go along your way. Days turn quick to night time every hour on the run. At 27 years, Lord, give me just another one. Intro (x2) Verse Got a little lady back at home who misses me. Freckles in her eyes - her lips so soft and sweet. She tells me how she loves me. How she hates to see me go. I miss her every hour I am out here on the road. Intro (x2) Bridge In the first year, I was learning. In the fifth, I joined a band. In the tenth, I played for Jesus. Four years down, worked for the man. In the fifteenth, was a rock and roller rebel with a dream. Twenty-something's got to give. I've got to do this now for me. Chorus Same as intro
