[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Gm] Well, I never live a life [Ab] through other people's eyes
[Eb] Guess I've always [Gm] been riding [Ab] through storms twice my size
[Bb] I've always been a drifter, [Ab] [Eb] guess I always will
[F] I'll be running toward a sunset, [Bb] while I'm signing some hits
[Eb] But I wasn't [Gm] made, [Ab] but I wasn't made, gypsy circus
[Eb] But finding every piece [Ab] of this puzzle has a purpose
[Cm] [Bb] Drifting and dreaming, [Ab] that must [Eb] be my [F] fate
To be grinning down my devil's law, [Bb] raising with aces and eights
[Ab] And I was contrary to ordinary, [Eb] even as a child
[F] Fast rates made me wonder, [Bb] full moons drove me wild
[Ab] And stories do come true, [Eb] in your live [Gm] life, in episodes
[Ab] One eye [Fm] on the ladies now, [Ab] and one [Bb] eye [Eb] still on the low
So [Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Gm] when I die, sweet, I won't [Ab] put no [Cm] tombstone on the grave
[Gm] I [Bb] slept one night, my [Gm] friend, to [Ab] sail my ashes out over the wave
[Bb] Don't get no preaching down, [Ab] just to tighten [Eb] up the fans
[F] You just tell them all I like to live, [Bb] I love to sing, dance and to laugh
And [Ab] I was contrary to ordinary, [Eb] got a witness, [Bb] even as a child
[F] Fast rates made me wonder, [Bb] full moons drove me wild
[Ab] And stories do come true, [Bb] in your live life, [Gm] in episodes
[Ab] One eye [Eb] [Fm] on the ladies now, [Ab] and one [Bb] eye still [Eb] on the low
Well, I'll sing
[Ab]
[Cm] [Gm] One
[Cm]
[Eb]
[Cm]
[Eb] [Gm] [Ab]
[Gm] eye on the ladies [Fm] now, and [Ab] one eye's [Bb] always on [Eb] that open road
Thank you very much, what a lovely time
The whole [N] damn day
