[F] [G] [F] [G] [F]
He was sitting beside me [Bb] in the passenger seat
[F] As I looked through the windshield [C] at the quiet
He [F] was smiling so proud [Bb] as he gave me the key
[F] But inside I knew he [C] was as nervous as me
And [F] I said, Daddy, oh Daddy, [Bb] are you sure I know how?
[F] Are you sure that I'm ready to drive [C] this car now?
He [F] said, I'm right here beside you [Bb] and you're gonna do fine
[Dm] All you gotta do [C] is keep it between [F] the lines
[Gm] Cause [F]
[Bb] it's a [C] long, narrow [F] road
[Bb] Only the [C] good Lord [Dm] knows where it leads [Bb] in the [F] end
[Gm] But [Bb] you've got to [C] [Bb] begin
[C] So [Bb] keep your [C] hands on [F] the wheel
[Bb] Believe in [C] the things that [Dm] are real
Just take [Bb] your [F] time
[Gm] [C] And keep it between the [F] lines
I was sitting in my chair, [Bb] time to sneak in and look
At [F] him lying on the floor [C] with his coloring book
Then [F] he caught me watching and [Bb] he climbed on my knees
I [F] said, Daddy, oh Daddy, would [C] you do one with me?
[F] Then I hugged him so tightly as [Bb] we turned the page
[F] Said, I haven't done this [C] since I was your age
[F] He said, I'm right here beside you and [Bb] you're gonna do fine
[Dm] Daddy, all you gotta do [C] is keep it between [F] the lines
So we finished the picture and [Bb] I put him to bed
[F] Got down on my knees [C] and I bowed my head
And I [F] said, Father, oh Father, [Bb] I feel so alone
[F] Are you sure I can raise [C] him with his mommy gone?
Then [F] the answer came back, [Bb] so gentle and low
[F] And the words of my daddy from [C] so long ago
Said, [F] I'm right here beside you [Bb] and you're gonna do fine
[Dm] All you gotta do [C] is keep it between the [F] lines
[Bb] [Am] So keep [Bb] your [C] hands on the [F] wheel
[Bb] Believe in the [C] things that are [Dm] real
Take [Bb] your [F] time [Gm] [C] and keep it between [F] the lines
Just take [Bb] your time [G] [C] and keep it between [F]
