Spirit Of A Boy Or Wisdom Of A Man - sung by Randy Travis


G     D     G   
D           G             D
     He was 16 tender and tough 
        G                                      A7
She was too and he would do anything prove his love
     G       /f#    e      d         Bm
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G          A           D   
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
              G                 D
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
              G                      A7
She cried the day she was having his child
     G       /f#    e      d         Bm   D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G          A           D
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
          A 
There's a constant contradiction
           G                   D 
what feels good and what feels right
G                                 D           A      
You live with decisions that you make in your life
                                  G              Bm
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
                G                      A
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
Break: D A  G                   A

                G             A
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas
        D
Hauling cars out to the coast
             G
It ain't the dream that he remembered
      A7
a few short years ago
                  G
But, tonight at a truck stop
                   D
while drinking in a cup
    G
The waitress grins and winks at him
            D               A
And says my shift is almost up
     G       /f#    e      d          Bm   D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G          A           D   
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
     G       /f#    e      d          Bm  D
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                G          A           D   G D G D . .
