Capo 1st Fret

 D          G               D
He was sixteen tender and tough
        G               D                     A
She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love
     G              A                D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G   A                     D
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

              G                 D
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
              G                 D                      A
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child
     G              A                D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G   A
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

          G                                  D
There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what
feels right
     G                            A
But, you live with decisions that you make in your life
    G                             D       A    G
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
                G   A
The spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

A                G
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas
         D
Hauling cars out to the coast
              G                              D
It ain't the dream that he remembers just a few short
       A
years ago
                  G                           D
But, tonight at a truckstop, while drinking a cup
    G                  D
The waitress grins and winks at him
         G                 a
And says my shift's almost up

     G              A                D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G   A                    A
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
     G              A                D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G   A                    D
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
