He was sixteen tender and tough
C G D
She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love
C D G
With so much riding on the choice at hand
C G
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
C G
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
C G D
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child
C D G
With so much riding on the choice at hand
C D
the spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
C G
There's a constant contradiction, what feels good and what feels right
C D
But, you live with decisions that you make in your life
C G D C
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
C D
The spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man

Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas
G
Hauling cars out to the coast
C G D

C G
But, tonight at a truckstop, while drinking a cup
C G
The waitress grins and winks at him
C D
And says my shift's almost up
C D G
With so much riding on the choice at hand
C D
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
C D G
With so much riding on the choice at hand
C G
the spirit of a boy, or the wisdom of a man
