G
I made a wish upon a star
C
I could have a brand new car
G
Got tired of wishing
     D 
So I stole one

G
Seventeen and knew it all
 
C
My dreams were big but my thoughts were small
G
So many roads somehow I chose
     D
The wrong one


G                          C
But Jesus and mama always loved me

G                        D
Even when the devil took control
G                      C       G  D
Jesus and mama always loved me
       G
This I know


I felt trapped most all my life
Found new kinds of lows and highs
Never been a husband but I've had a
lot of wives To hold me


Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
And still searchin'


Repeat Chorus


I wish mom could see me now
And how I've turned it all around
Lately I've been going down
The right road

Life's a picture that you paint
With blues and grays and can's and cant's 
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I know
