G5 D5 C5 C5 (x4)  

G5           D5              C5          
A young man driving down a dusty road
G5         D5                C5 
Like he's got somewhere to go
G5                 D5           C5      
Driving like he's got a desti-nation
          G5                D5                  C5     
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat-up Ford.
G5                D5                  C5                
See, there was a time when he was a young lost soul 
       G5       D5               C5 
He was chasing butterflies and rainbows
G5       D5                     C5 
Til one day when he found his pot of gold
        G5          D5                    C5 
And the words of a young man who turned old. 
 
Chorus: 
            G5
The old man said,
                     D5         C5      
"You've gotta have a good imagination,
G5               D5                C5 
If you're gonna live the life of old",
              G5                 D5                C5 
He said, "you got to drive that Ford like it's a stallion,
        G5                D5                 C5
And you got to wear your heart just like a gun."
            G5  D5 C5   
The old man said,
            G5  D5 C5 
The old man said. 
G5                                     C5
The boy walked D out with a new-found hero,
          G5            D5             C5 
Yeah, the boy, well he walked away a man,
       G5           D5               C5              
And he said to him-self that dusty day way down in Texas, 
          G5           D5              C5
Well, I'm never gonna walk this path again. 
 
Repeat chorus, then 
G5 D5 C5  (x2) 

G5              D5                      C5 
The boy walked out he was dreaming of wild times,
     G5            D5               C5
When old cowboys, they broke down cattle lines. 
    G5             D5                  C5
But now all those fields are all but gone, 
    G5                  D5            C5
His heart's still free and he rides on... 
            G5  D5 C5
The old man said 
            G5  D5 C5
The old man said 
            G5  D5 C5
The old man said 
            G5  D5 C5
The old man said  
            G5
The old man (big strum )} said.
