Just a foolish lad chasing after dreams, never worried about the cost.
C Em F G
Running fast and running free, never missed what he had lost.
F G Em Am
Chasing shining stars he drove the fastest cars, never giving up the pace.
C Am F G C G
Running down the road, headed for the gold, a winners smile was on his face.
C Em F G
When he became a man his life began to change the day headed off to war.
C Em F G
He learned to aggravate. He learned to fear and hate. He tasted blood and wanted more.
F G Em Am
He watched his brothers die, and heard their mothers cry, and he held our flag up high.
C Am F G C G
Marching down the road with a heavy load, he never stopped to ask God why.
C Em F G
And, when he came home he was a different man, but he could not tell you why.
C Em F G
He never danced, and he never smiled, and you never seen him cry.
F G Em Am
He was all alone. His love for life was gone, when she came into his life.
C Am F G C G
And, the light of his life was like a shining star and she soon became his wife.
C Em F G

And, the years they passed, and their love did last, and she bore his family.
C Em F G
And, the day she died, he sat alone and cried, beneath a weeping willow tree.
F G Em Am
But, what she left behind by the grace of God was to be his destiny.
C Am F G C G
Shining stars and racing cars were added to his family tree.
