Intro

He was six(G9)teen tender and (D9) tough
She was (G9) too and he'd do anything to prove his (A7) love
With (G) so much (D/F#) riding (Em) on the (A7) choice at (Bm) hand
The (D/A) spirit of a (G) boy, or the (A7) wisdom of a (D9) man
Hearts caught (G9) fire and love ran (D9) wild
She cried the (G9) day she called to say she was having his (A7) child
With (G) so much (D/F#) riding (Em) on the (A7) choice at (Bm) hand
The (D) spirit of a (G) boy or the (A7) wisdom of a (D9) man
There's a (A/C#) constant contra(A)diction, what feels (G) good and what feels (D) right
(G) You live with decisions that (D) you make in your (A) life
And (A/C#) what steers your direc(A)tion is (Em) hard to under(Bm)stand
The spirit of a (G) boy, or the wisdom of a (A) man

Solo

Now he drives a (G9) diesel out of Dallas
Hauling (D9) cars out to the coast
It ain't the (G9) dream that he remembers, just a (A) few short years (A7sus) ago (A7)
But, tonight at a (G) truckstop, while drinking a (D9) cup
The (G) waitress grins and winks at him
And says (A7sus) my shift's almost (A) up
With (G) so much (D/F#) riding (Em) on the choice at (Bm) hand
The (D) spirit of a (G) boy, or the (A) wisdom of a (D) man
With (G) so much (D/F#) riding (Em) on the choice at (Bm) hand
The spirit of a (G) boy, or the wisdom of a (D) man
