[Verse 1]
On a Greyhound thirty [C]miles
beyond [G]Jamestown
[D]He saw the sun set on
the Ten[C]nessee line
[G]He [D]looked at the young man
who was [C]riding beside [G]him
[D]He said I'm old kind of wor[C]n out insid[G]e
[D]I worked my whole life
[C]in the steel mills of [G]Gary[Dsus4]
[D]And my father before me I
[C]helped build this [Dsus4]land
[D]Now I'm seventy- seven
and with [C]God as my [G]witness
[D]I earned every dollar that p[C]assed
through my [G]hands
[A]My family and friends are the be
[G]st thing I've known
Through the eye [A]of the needle
[G]I'll carry them home

[Verse 2]
[D]Days turn to minutes
And [C]minutes to memor[G]ies
[D]Life sweeps away the dreams
[C]That we have [G]planned
[D]You are young and you[C]
are the fu[G]ture
[A]So suck it up and tough it out

[Interlude 1]
And be the best you can
[D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]The rain hit the old dog in
the twi[C]light's last gleam[G]ing
[D]He said "son it sounds
like [C]rattling old [G]bones"
[D]This highway is long but I know some
[C]that are lon[G]ger
[D]By sunup tomorrow I [C]guess I'll be [G]home
[D]Through the hills of Kentucky
'cross the [G]Ohio [D]river
The old man kept talking
'bout his [C]life and his [G]times
[D]He fell asleep with his hea[C]d
against the window
[Dsus4]He said a[D]n honest man's
pillow is his peace [C]of mind[G]
This [A]world offers riches and
[G]riches will grow wings
[A]I don't take stock in
those un[G]certain things

[Verse 4]
[D]Days turn to minutes
And [C]minutes to memor[G]ies
[D]Life sweeps away the dreams
That [C]we have [G]planned
[D]You are young and you[C]
are the fu[G]ture
[A]So suck it up and tough it out

[Interlude 2]
And be the best you can

[Verse 5]
The old man had a vision but [D]it was
hard for me [C]to follow
[G]I d[D]o things my way and
I pay a high [G]price[D]
When I think back on the
[C]old man and the bus [G]ride
[D]Now that I'm older I can see
he [Dsus4]was right[G]
[D][C][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 6]
[A]Another hot one out on hig[G]hway eleven
[A]This is my life It's what I've
[G]chosen to do
There are [A]no free rides,
no [G]one said it'd be easy
The [A]old man told me this my
son I'm [G]telling it to you

[Verse 7]
[D]Days turn to minutes
And [C]minutes to memories
[G]Lif[D]e sweeps away the dreams
That [C]we have [G]planned
[D]You are young and you[C]
are the fu[G]ture
[A]So suck it up and tough it out

[Outro 1]
