It was late one night in Southern Texas

  (LA) (Sim)

My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band

  (LA) (Sim)

He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street

  (LA) (Sim)

My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time

 Oh but a phone cal[Do#m]l would have been nice

  (LA) (Sim)

I guess you're stuck with what was given to you

 And th[Do#m]e world couldn't change my spirit

 This will remain t[Do#m]he same

  (LA) (Sim)

You were young and living like you wanted to

  (LA) (Sim)

I understand because I packed up and left just like you did

  (LA) (Sim)

At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands

 Oh in so many ways[Do#m] you did

  (LA) (Sim)

I don't want to have you worry no more

 Let's [Do#m]forgive and forget and finish what we started

 So we [Do#m]can move on

 I want you to know I really needed you then

And I can use you now

 I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs

 I would sit along side of the fence

  (LA) (Sim)

Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there

  (LA) (Sim)

It's been nice to know you for the past few years

  (LA) (Sim)

When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure

 Ohhh it could have[Do#m] turned out so different

  (LA) (Sim)

I guess you're stuck with what was given to you

 And th[Do#m]e world couldn't change my spirit

 This will remain f[Do#m]orever

  (LA) (Sim)

I don't want to have you worry no more

 Let's [Do#m]forgive and forget and finish what we started

 So we [Do#m]can move on
