A *
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WOMEN WOULD'NT GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY
A
TILL I BOUGHT A GUITAR AND I TAUGHT MYSELF TO PLAY
D
EVEN MET MY WIFE AT A DINER THAT I PLAYED EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT
E
FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD GO SO WRONG, SOMETHING'S GOING SO RIGHT
WRITIN' SONGS HAVE GOTTEN ME EVERYWHERE
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST
JUST DOING WHAT I LOVE TO DO
FOR ME DEFINES SUCCESS
'CAUSE I'M PLAYIN' FOR YOU PEOPLE
AND YOU'RE SITTIN', LISTENIN' TO MY SONGS
I SWEAR WHEN EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT
(I FEEL LIKE) NOTHIN' CAN GO WRONG
(Chorus)
D
FROM AUSTIN UP TO NASHVILLE AND ALL POINTS IN BETWEEN
A *
MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST THAT'S INSIDE YOU AND ME
D
GUESS YOU CAN CALL ME LUCKY IN THIS ROLLERCOASTER SONGWRITER LIFE
E D A
FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD GO SO WRONG, SOMETHINGS GOING SO RIGHT
NOW YOU'VE LISTENED TO MY STORY AND I THINK YOU WILL AGREE
THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS TO THE THINGS WE'LL HEAR AND SEE
SO I MADE MYSELF A PROMISE THAT I'D NEVER KEEP MY SONG INSIDE
FOR SOMETHING THAT COULD GO SO WRONG, SOMETHING'S GOING SO RIGHT
(Chorus - repeat last line, END)
