[Intro]
F#m D x2
[Verse 1]
F#m D
My daddy was a southern baptist deacon,
F#m D
On the good book, I was born and raised.
F#m D
But I never quite bought into the preaching:
F#m E
Too much fear, too much hate.
[Verse 2]
F#m D
So I drifted from my faith out of high school,
A E
I questioned things that I could not see.
F#m D
That's when they told my dad that we weren't welcome back
A E
and they were gonna be praying for me.
[Chorus 1]
D E
He said: Son, the road it ain't easy,
A D
it's all just a series of mistakes.
A E D
But you gotta learn how to take
A E D
the bruises with the breaks,
F#m E D
the love with the heart-aches,
E F#m
the crooked with the straight.
[Break]
F#m D x2
[Verse 3]
F#m D
So I wandered through my twenties uninspired.
F#m D

F#m D

F#m E
and the ring of an electric guitar
[Verse 4]
F#m D
And we made all these plans, we were gonna take a stand,
A E
set out, and rise above the noise.
F#m D
But after all these shows we played, their fight began to fade,
A E
and as they walked away, I heard my fathers voice.
[Chorus 2]
D E
He said: Son, the road it ain't easy,
