GG Piano Chord 

1.I made a wish upon a star
CC Piano Chord 

I could have a brand new car
GG Piano Chord 

Got tired of wishing
CC Piano Chord 

So I stole one

GG Piano Chord 

Seventeen and knew it all
CC Piano Chord 

My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
GG Piano Chord 

So many roads somehow I chose
CC Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 

The wrong one

GG Piano Chord 

C.But Jesus and mama always loved me
CC Piano Chord 

Even when the devil took control
GG Piano Chord 
                              CC Piano Chord 

Jesus and mama always loved me
DD Piano Chord 

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
