[Verse]
C F
Three weeks before I could even meet
Dm G
My brother's son, didn't see him turn one or two
C F
Three months I haven't made Sunday service once
Dm G
I'm out on the road praying alone
C F
Every night for a sign that I'm doin' this right
Am G
And I'm right where I'm supposed to be
[Chorus]
C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
G
Have given me some of my best years
F C Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
F Dm C
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio
[Verse]
C F Dm
Three years of wishing that he was here holding my hand
G C
No I didn't plan for those three words
F
To be the ones that hurt
Dm G
They don't sound the same from so far away, oh my
[Chorus]
C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
G
Have given me some of my best years
F C Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
F Dm C
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio
[Instrumental]
C F Am G F Dm
[Bridge]
C
I do it for the three girls
F
At my show that saved up for the third row
Am G
And the three times that I heard just this week that my words
C
Were sang by a three year old
F
Hairbrush for a microphone
Am
Little girl with a dream
G
And that girl was me, yeah
[Chorus]
C
Momma said "You'll be a star"
G
And Daddy said "you're gonna go far
F
All ya gotta do is sing your heart out"
C
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
G
Have given me some of my best years
F C Em
But there's so much I had to miss out on
F Dm
Six years of missing home
Bb F C F
But I'd spend fifty more gone for three minutes on the radio
End on C
