Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G G G
[Verse]
G
I remember way back when I was ten
G
Trying like hell to be my own man
Cadd9 G
Big shoes to fill and I ain't filled them yet
G
Been chasing big dreams down the road for a while
G
I'm scuffed up and scarred but hey that's life
Cadd9 D
Nothing worth having ever comes easy I guess
[Chorus]
Cadd9
But if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I'm at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay
Cadd9
The good lord knows when life's supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I'm going someday
G
But I can wait
[Verse]
G
I've sеttled on down, got kids of my own
G
The way they talk you'd swеar they're grown
Cadd9 G
I hope they don't grow up near as fast as they like
G
Yeah me and my baby we're gonna get gray
G
The kids'll move out and make their way
Cadd9 D
And that day will be here in the blink of an eye
[Chorus]
Cadd9
So if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I'm at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay
Cadd9
The good lord knows when life's supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I'm going someday
Em7 D Cadd9 D
But I can wa-aaaaaaaaaaaait
[Break]
G
I remember my daddy saying he couldn't wait
G
To see me singing on that opry stage
Cadd9
Now it ain't happened yet
D
But I know it will some day
[Chorus]
Cadd9
But if it takes a little longer I sit on back
G
Got everything I need right where I'm at
D Cadd9 D
Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray-ay-ay-ay-ay
Cadd9
The good lord knows when life's supposed to happen
G
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
D Cadd9
I know deep down gonna get where I'm going someday
G G G
But I can wait
I remember way back when I was ten
Trying like hell to be my own man
Big shoes to fill, and I ain't filled them yet
Been chasing big dreams down the road for a while
I'm scuffed up and scarred, but hey, that's life
Nothing worth having ever comes easy, I guess
But if it takes a little longer, I sit on back
Got everything I need right where I'm at
Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray
The good Lord knows when life's supposed to happen
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
I know deep down, gonna get where I'm going someday
But I can wait
I've settled on down, got kids of my own
The way they talk, you'd swear they're grown
I hope they don't grow up near as fast as they like
Yeah, me and my baby we're gonna get gray
The kids'll move out and make their way
And that day will be here in the blink of an eye
So if it takes a little longer, I sit on back
Got everything I need right where I'm at
Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray
The good Lord knows when life's supposed to happen
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
I know deep down, gonna get where I'm going someday
But I can wait

To see me singing on that Opry stage
Now it ain't happened yet
But I know it will some day
So if it takes a little longer, I sit on back

Long as I'm breathing and keep hitting my knees and pray
The good Lord knows when life's supposed to happen
Just gotta keep trying, gotta keep on laughing
I know deep down, gonna get where I'm going someday
But I can wait
