Badd9 C# F# I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy Badd9 C# F# When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red Badd9 C# D#m7 We drove to the hospital in a hurry Badd9 C# Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed Badd9 He was my best friend F# He taught me how to fish F# C# Badd9 And I cried listening to my daddy pray Badd9 C# F# For one of those I've loved along the way Badd9 C# F# She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her Badd9 C# F# That whole next year we couldn't get enough Badd9 C# D#m After graduation she took off for Denver Badd9 C# And for a while we both tried to keep in touch Badd9 She was my best friend F# And it broke my heart F# C# Badd9 But I don't regret the day that she became Badd9 C# F# One of those I've loved along the way C# And I hope they know Badd9 C# I never would've made it this far on my own Badd9 Cause where would we all be without those F# C# Fathers and mothers D#m7 F# Sisters and brothers Badd9 Friends I've made D#m7 C# Long lost lovers Badd9 C# D#m I wouldn't be who I am today Badd9 C# D#m If not for those I've loved along the way D#m - Badd9 - D#m - C# Badd9 C# F# Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar Badd9 C# F# Looking back down this old road I've been traveling on Badd9 C# D#m It was never about trying to be some big star Badd9 C# For me it's always been about these songs Badd9 See they're my best friends F# They're the life I lead F# C# Badd9 And I hope they've put a smile on the face Badd9 C# D#m Of those I've loved along the way Badd9 C# F# Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today Badd9 C# D#m If not for those I've loved along the way.
