[VERSE 1]
Way [A]back in their younger days, when they were running [E]wild
My [E]daddy had a dream, and Momma had a [A]child
He said: "[A]Girl you can't be tying me down, I'm only [D]seventeen
And a [B7]man's gotta get around, if you know what I [E]mean."
Then my [A]Momma said, "Go on, as she stood and [D]cried
And my Daddy said, "I'm gone. I gotta live my life."
[CHORUS]
And I was [A]born one summer night
When the world loved Patsy [D]Cline
I was [E]raised by the tracks, in a tar-paper shack
On the Georgia-Alabama line
Momma [A]taught me how to play and sing
And we headed up to [D]Tennessee
[E]Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll
But Daddy laid the blues on [A]me
[VERSE 2]
Well I [A]signed that dotted line, and I climbed my way to being a [E]star
When I [E]ran across my Daddy in a downtown Tallahassee [A]bar
He said, [A]"Girl there ain't no life on the road, you better come [D]with me."
I said: "Dad, [B7]I gotta get around if you know [E]what I mean."
Daddy s[A]aid: "Come on", with a tear in his [D]eye
I said, "[E]Sorry Daddy, I'm gone!, I gotta live my [A]life"
[CHORUS]
And I was [A]born one summer night
When the world loved Patsy [D]Cline
I was [E]raised by the tracks, in a tar-paper shack
On the Georgia-Alabama line
Momma [A]taught me how to play and sing
And we headed up to [D]Tennessee
[E]Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll
But Daddy laid the blues on [A]mee
[CHORUS]
