[Verse]
Dm7 D7 Dm Dm7
A hundred years from now will anything matter
A7 Dm
What we’ll worry about won’t mean a thing
D Dm7 Dm D7
Got to live each moment like it’s the last one
A7 D D7
And got to find a way to laugh thru the pain
[Chorus]
D7
And they said,
G A D
Boy you better not go out to California
G A D
But all they know is what they see on the tv screen
G A D Bm
Now I think about the friends, I’d a never met
G A D
And the memories missed in between
Bm G A D D7
If I didn’t set out and live my dreams
[Verse]

Forget all the politics the man-made religion
A7 D
There’s only one God above and He made everything

You want to make someone mad just be independent
A7 D D7
Think for yourself and use your brain
[Chorus]

And they said,
G A D
Boy you better not go out to Alabama
G A D
But all they know is what they see on the tv screen
G A D Bm
Now I think about the friends, I’d a never met
G A D
And the memories missed in between
Bm G A D
If I didn’t set out and live my dreams
