_ On a greyhound [D] thirty [A] miles beyond [E] Jamestown, he saw the sunset [D] on the [A] Tennessee line.
[B] Looked at the young man [D] who was riding [A] beside [B] him, he said, I'm the only kind of [D] a [A] war now that's decided.
[E] I worked my whole life [E] in the steel [A] mills near [E] Gary, and my father before me, [A] our help built this land.
Now I'm seventy-seven and [E] with God as [A] my witness, [E] I earned every dollar that passed through [A] my hand.
[B] My family and friends [A] are the best thing that I've known, [B] through the eye of the needle.
_ [A] Get em home.
[E] Live for the minutes [D] and [A] minutes of memory.
[E] Life's a great [D] dream, sweet [A] airplane.
_ [E] You are young and [D] you are [A] the future.
[B] So get on top of that, be the best you can.

_ [E] The rain hit the old [D] dog in the twilight, [A] the lights gleaming.
[B] He said, son, it [D] sounds like rattling [A] old bones.
[B] This howl is long, but I [D] know some [A] that are longer.
[B] I'll sown up tomorrow, [D] I guess [A] I'll be home.
[E] In the hills of Kentucky, [A] across the Ohio [E] River, the old man kept talking [A] about his life and his time.
[E] He fell asleep with his head [A] against the [E] window, sitting on his man's pillow as his [A] peace of mind.
_ [B] His little life was riches, _ [A] riches to the little things.
[B] Why don't you stop [A] in those uncertain [E] things?
Get on the minutes and [A] minutes of memory.
_ [E] Life's a great dream, sweet [A]
airplane.
[E] _ You are young and you [A] are the future.
[B] So get on top of that, be the best you can.

_ [E] The old man had a vision that was hard [A] for me to follow.
[E] I do things my way and I pay a [A] high price.
[E] When I think back [A] on the old man and the bus ride, [E] now that I'm older, I can see [A] he was right.

[B] There's no free ride.
[A] No one set it free.
The [B] old man told me this [A] morning, I'm telling it to you.
_ [E] Get on the minutes [D] and minutes of [A]
memory.
[E] Life's a great dream, [A] sweet airplane.
_ [E] You are young and [D] you are the [A] future.
[B] So get on top of that, be the best you [E] can.
