[Verse 1]
E
I was no daddy's dream
E
Was not your momma's prayer
E
But I was your first and your
E
Last ticket out of there
A
I caught your wings on fire
A
When I smoked my bronco tires
E
Out of that town

[Verse 2]
E
I'm good at rollin' dice
E
No good at standin' still
E
You liked the thought of chasin'
E
Life instead of dollar bills
A
We were livin' wreckless
A
Nothin' to catch us, baby
E               E
But the ground
