[Verse]
Thr[C]ee weeks before I could [F]even meet
My brother's s[Dm]on, didn't see him turn [G]one or two
Thr[C]ee months I haven't made S[F]unday service once
I'm out on the r[Dm]oad praying al[G]one
Every n[C]ight for a sign that I'm do[F]in' this right
And I'm r[Am]ight where I'm supposed to b[G]e
[Chorus]
M[C]omma said "You'll be a star"
And D[G]addy said "you're gonna go far
[F]All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
A l[C]ot of miles, a lot of tears
Have g[G]iven me some of my best years
[F]But there's so much I had to miss out o[C]n[Em]
Six y[F]ears of missing home for three [Dm]minutes on the radi[C]o
[Verse]
Thr[C]ee years of wishing that h[F]e was here holding my h[Dm]and
No I didn't pl[G]an for th[C]ose three words
To be the [F]ones that hurt
They don't sound the s[Dm]ame from so far awa[G]y, oh my
[Chorus]
M[C]omma said "You'll be a star"
And D[G]addy said "you're gonna go far
[F]All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
A l[C]ot of miles, a lot of tears

[Instrumental]
[C] [F] [Am] [G] [F] [Dm]
[Bridge]
I do it for the thr[C]ee girls
At my show that s[F]aved up for the third row
And the thr[Am]ee times that I heard just th[G]is week that my words
Were sang by a thr[C]ee year old
Hairbrush for a m[F]icrophone
Little girl with a dr[Am]eam
And that girl was m[G]e, yeah
[Chorus]
M[C]omma said "You'll be a star"
And D[G]addy said "you're gonna go far
[F]All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
A l[C]ot of miles, a lot of tears
Have g[G]iven me some of my best years
[F]But there's so much I had to miss out o[C]n[Em]
Six y[F]ears of missing home[Dm]
But I'd spend f[Bb]ifty more gone for three m[F]inutes on the radi[C]o[F]
End on C
