F Haggard on a houseboat, tryin' not to sink A#7 Wonderin' if he oughta float back or F just stay here and drink C7 A#7 He found a guitar 'fore he found that Shasta shore F And a song was born Willie on an airplane, brown bag and a pen Flyin' high thinking 'bout being on the road again Tried her out on a crowd down at John T. Floore's A song was born Chorus: A# Outta real life, outta real love C The best ones you can't make up Dm C A# A#7 It just means more when you've been there before. A# Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks C Hitch a good rhyme to a mistake Dm C A# A#7 Then you pour those feelings out over three chords. F A song was born I've wrote 'em in the Carolina mountains, on a Cabo beach In a thousand rooms in Nashville, Tennessee On a Bitterroot River, Montana back porch A song was born Chorus Outta real life, outta real love The best ones you can't make up It just means more when you've been there before Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks Hitch a good rhyme to a mistake Then you pour those feelings out over three chords Then you pour those feelings out over three chords A song was born A song was born | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# A#7 C C7 Dm F |
