Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna [G]quit singin'
[D]all these [G]sad songs
'Cause I can't stand [C]the pain
Oh, the life I sing [G]about now
And the one I live is the same
[D]

[Verse 2]
When I [G]sing them old
[D]songs of [G]daddy's
Seems like every [C]one comes true
Lord, please help me
Do I [G]have to [D]be the living [G]proof

[Verse 3]
Why just [G]the other night [D]after [G]the show
An old drunk came up to [C]me
He says "You ain't as good
as your [G]daddy, boy
And you never will [D]be"

[Verse 4]
Then a [G]young girl [D]in old [G]blue jeans
Says, "I'm your biggest [C]fan"
It's a good thing I was [G]born Gemini
'Cause I'm [D]living for more
than one [G]man

[Verse 5]
Remember [G]Jimmie and [D]Hank [G]and Johnny
They were in the summer of [C]life
When you called them [G]away, Lord
I don't wanna pay that [D]price

[Verse 6]
Don't let my [G]son ever [D]touch [G]a guitar
May he never sing [C]the blues
Let him be free
Don't [G]make him [D]be more [G]living proof

[Verse 7]
I don't [G]wanna [D]be a le[G]gend
I just wanna be a [C]man
But Lord, [G]You know [C]some[G]times
I've needed a helpin' [D]hand

[Verse 8]
And it ain't [G]been so [D]easy [G]lately
I've had to go it all [C]alone
But I've always had anything
[G]I ever wan[D]ted, except a hom[G]e

[Verse 9]
I'm gonna [G]quit singin' [D]all
them [G]sad songs
'Cause I can't stand [C]the pain
Oh, the life I sang to [G]you about
And the one I live is the same
[D]

[Verse 10]
Yes, I've [G]sang those old
[D]songs of [G]daddy's
And now it seems they all come [C]true
Lord, please help me
Do I [G]have to [D]be the living [G]proof
[C]Lor[G]d,

[Verse 11]
[C]please help me
I [G]don't wanna [D]be the living [G]proof
