I chose this road  
F 
Straight from the Texas Hill Country, a natural born highway junkie  
F                      C 
Never much money but I always kept some faith  
F     
And sometimes without knowing where I was going  
F                  C             G     
I just kept rollin anyways on to better days  

             C              
I chose this road  
          F 
I've been blinded, divided, reunited 
F                                                C 
Held together with prayer and nickle-coated wire guitar strings  
  F 
I scraped my ass of every rough patch but I kept dreaming bout green grass  
        F       C                            G  
And the day I'd grow some wings, get me some beautiful wings  

             C   
I chose this road  
      F 
I met pilgrims and seekers, lion-hearted preachers and tea-leaf readers  
             C 
Yeah, I like folks who hear a call  
F 
Wise outsiders, barrel riders, pilots of jet plane fighters,  
        C                                      G 
Watched some of 'em fall, but I tell you, I’ve loved them all  

Bridge: 
             F 
I chose this road, and I'd do it again, I'd grab the wind, take another spin  

             C 
I chose this road  
      F 
Yeah, Tennessee nearly got the best of me  
    F                                          C  
And when I leave, I'll go thankfully, with the tip of my hat  
    F 
And when I am tempted to regret ever leaving Texas I just remember  
      F                         C                                       G      
She's always been right here in me, and that's a fact, you can bet your ranch on that  

Bridge  

             C 
I chose this road  
                 F 
And I've been as lucky as lucky gets, a tune in every step  
F                                    C 
And for every regret, there's been a bucket of joy  
       F 
And if God sheds some more grace, and the creek stays in its place  
   F                                    C                           G 
I might stay in the race long enough to meet my little boy's little boy

Yea I chose this road and i'd do it again  
  F          C      F 
I chose this road I like the way it feels
