[Verse 1]
CI ain't from FTexas, but I Dmmade my way from FDallas
And I Dmknow the lonesome Gsound is followCing G
CI ain't a Fgambler, but I can Dmrecognize a Fhand
And when to Dmhold when queens are Gstaring back at Cme
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
COnce I was a Fcarpenter, and Dmman my hands were cFalloused
I could Dmswing a metal Gmallet sure and CstraightG
But CI took to the Fhighway, a Dmpoet young and Fhungry
And I Dmleft the timbers Grotting where they Clay G
[Chorus]
ForFever I will move like the Fmworld that turns beneath me
And when I Close my diAmrection I'll Glook up to the sky
And when the Fblack cloak drags upon the ground
I'll beFm ready to surrender, and reCmember
Well we're Amall in this togetherG
If I Flive the life I'm given, Fm I wont be scared to die C G C G
[Verse 3]
CI don't come from DFetroit, but her Dmdiesel motors Fpull me
And I Dmfollowed till I Gfinally lost my Cway G
And Cnow I spend my Fdays in search of a Dmwoman we called Fpurpose
And if I Dmever pass back Gthrough her town I'll Cstay G
[Chorus]
ForFever I will move like the Fmworld that turns beneath me
And when I Close my diAmrection I'll Glook up to the sky
And when the Fblack dress drags upon the ground
I'll beFm ready to surrender, and reCmember
Well we're Amall in this togetherG
If I Flive the life I'm given, Fm I wont be scared to die
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
And Cmy life is but a Fcoin pulled fDmrom an empty pFocket
Dropped inDmto a slot with dreams of Gsevens close beChind G
CHope and fear go with Fit, and the Dmmoon and the sun go Fspinning
Like the Dmnumbers and the Gfruits before our Ceyes
CSometimes I Fhit, someGtimes it robs me Cblind
CSometimes I Fhit, someGtimes it robs me Cblind
[Chorus]
ForFever I will move like the Fmworld that turns beneath me
And when I Close my diAmrection I'll Glook up to the sky
And when the Fblack cloak drags upon the ground
I'll beFm ready to surrender, and reCmember
Well we're Amall in this togetherG
If I Flive the life I'm given, Fm I wont be scared to die C
