Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[G]Tonight
I'm rid[D]ing all [G]night,
talking to my[D]self and my sleeping bride
[G]And I'm looking [D]at my life
[G]Lord, I hope I'm doi[D]ng
everything [C]right
Cause I'm just a [D]kid in a man's shoes
[G]Well, everybody says [Em]that
but with me it's true
[C]And I [D]ride down the avenue
[G][D][G][D][C]
Yesterday [D]was Christmas Day
[G]I was a little hungove[Em]r
at my sister -in -law's [C]place
Thinking through [D]a hard year
[G]The people that are [Em]gone
and the people still here
[Am]Now I work[D] the bump that I do
[G]But I'm wearing out my [Em]last
pair of good shoes
[C]What's [D]lost is now clear
[C]Like the rain [D]in my [G]ears[D][G][D]
[C][Em][D][G][Em][C][D][G]
[D][G]
So now [D]I'm ridin' down the avenue
[G]See the little boys with [D]little
toy guns but [G]shoes
And cowboy hat[D]s and Cuban boots
[G]Their mother's [D]father's sailor [C]suits
And I swear [D]I've never changed
[G]Since I was seven[Em]teen I
stayed the same
[C]Except now I [D]drive in the right [G]lane
The girls in the [Em]back carry my name
[C]Two blue eyed [D]girls with my
[G]name[D][G][D][G][C]
I'm [D]alone, I'm not alone
[G]And I'm [Em]scared, but I'm not scared
[C]I'm no singer[D], that much I know
[G]But I'm singing these
[Em]last lines even so
[C]Cause I [D]heard the police sound
[G]The teenage ban[Em]d that
hits me in the ground
[C]And [D]I heard the marchers drum
[G]And now I know [Em]this thing's just begun
[C]And I know [D]I'm old, it's [C]true
But I know [D]I'm young too
[C]Cause I ride [D]down the [G]avenue
Right, [D]right, now we got [G]it[D][C][D][G]
[Em][C][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
