C
I chose this road
F
Straight from the Texas Hill Country, a natural born highway junkie
F C
Never much money but I always kept some faith
F
And sometimes without knowing where I was going
F C G
I just kept rollin anyways on to better days
C
I chose this road
F
I've been blinded, divided, reunited
F C
Held together with prayer and nickle-coated wire guitar strings
F
I scr*ped my ass of every rough patch but I kept dreaming bout green grass
F C G
And the day I'd grow some wings, get me some beautiful wings
C
I chose this road
F
I met pilgrims and seekers, lion-hearted preachers and tea-leaf readers
C
Yeah, I like folks who hear a call
F
Wise outsiders, barrel riders, pilots of jet plane fighters,
C G
Watched some of ‘em fall, but I tell you, I’ve loved them all
Bridge:
F
I chose this road, and I'd do it again, I'd grab the wind, take another spin
C
I chose this road
F
Yeah, Tennessee nearly got the best of me
F C
And when I leave, I'll go thankfully, with the tip of my hat
F
And when I am tempted to regret ever leaving Texas I just remember
F C G
She's always been right here in me, and that's a fact, you can bet your ranch on that
Bridge
C
I chose this road
F
And i've been as lucky as lucky gets, a tune in every step
F C
And for every regret, there's been a bucket of joy
F
And if God sheds some more grace, and the creek stays in its place
F C G
I might stay in the race long enough to meet my little boy's little boy
C
I chose this road
F C F
Yea I chose this road and i'd do it again
F C F
I chose this road I like the way it feels
F
I chose this road
