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