[C] [Em] [D]

[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C] [G] Outside there's a rusty pickup [C] underneath the shed, [Dm] [G] mockingbirds nest in the tailpile,
[C] empty feed sack [G] in the bed.
They took away my keys, [C] saying I'm too old to drive.
[D] It's [E] like they're trying to bury me [C] while I'm still [D] alive.
[G] I always wanted a son, I always [C] wanted a wood shed,
[G] I always [D] wanted to ride on an open range and learn how to [G] fly a plane.
But I [D] guess even [G] pictures we never take, memories we'll never [C] make, still fade.
I never [D] did all I wanted to do, but I always [G] wanted to.
[C]
[G] They talk like I can't hear them [C] when they have to change my sheet.
[G]
[D] They're getting tired and [G] angry, [C] because I won't accept [D] defeat.
[G] Uncle Frank lived to be a hundred, [C] hell I'm only 95.
[G]
[D] I ain't raising no white [E] flag [C] while I'm still [D] alive.
I always [G] wanted a son, I always [C] wanted a wood shed,
[G] I always [D] wanted to ride on an open range and learn how to [G] fly a plane.
But I [D] guess even [G] pictures we never take, memories we'll never [C] make, still fade.
I never [D] did all I wanted to do, but I [G] always wanted to.
[C] [D]
[G] Mama Reeve showed up this morning, [C] floating right above that chair.
[G] [D] She smiled the sweetest smile at me, [Am] as she hovered in the air,
[G] when that fever stole her from me.
[C] I was 27, she was just 25.
[D] I never dreamed I'd see my angel [C] again, while I'm still [G] alive.
I always wanted a son, I always [C] wanted a wood shed,
I always [D] wanted to ride on an open range and learn how to [G] fly a plane.
But I [D] guess even [G] pictures we never take, memories we'll never [C] make, still fade.
I never [D] did all I wanted to do, but I [G] always wanted to.
