_ I was born in _ 1977. _
[Bm] They hear that Elvis died and went to heaven. _ _
[A] My mama worked at night time singing cover [D] songs. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My daddy was a law man with the FBI. _ _
[Bm] For cash money, he'd do deals on the side. _
[A] Mama said he even killed a man once, never even got [D] caught. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, they fought like hell for several years. _
[Bm] Then Ma told Pa [B] to disappear. _ _
[A] That's when old Dano came in.
He changed my [D] life. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I didn't see my real dad again until I was 12 years old.
[Bm] _ My mom pointed him [B] out in a record store.
[Bm] _
[A] I walked up and said, my name's Bobby.
He said, I'm Bobby [D] too. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He still didn't know just who I was. _
[Bm] I told him I [B] was his eldest son.
[Bm] _ _
[A] I could see the tear drops welling up in his [D] eyes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He gave me his phone number and we said goodbye. _ _
[Bm] It was two months [B] later that old Bob died, _
[A] with a needle in his arm, in some hotel room.
[D] _ _ _ _ They say [G] some things in [A] our lives are best [D] forgotten.
_ _ _ _ I say [G] those are things [A] that make us who [D] we are.
_ _ So be [G] proud of what you [A] got and where you [D] come from.
_ _ _ Cause [G] from blood to dust, you [A] know it ain't very [D] far. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Next thing I know, I'm 15 years old,
[Bm] playing electric guitar and smoking dope. _
[A] It was then I dedicated my life to rock and roll.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I had a drummer and I had a band. _
[Bm] Nobody ever heard of us.
[B] We was called Stickman. _
[A] We played all ages shows till the cops ran us out of town.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We moved to the big town, chasing the dream. _
[Bm] We weren't cool enough [B] to make their scene. _
[A] We just ended up drinking a lot, getting all strung [D] out. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, Miles moved to Frisco and wound up dead. _
[Bm] Carl [B] got clean and shaved his head. _
[A] Old Mike Fisher went back home, had a bunch of kids.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now me on the other hand, I had plans of my own. _
[Bm] _ Broken hearted, [B] sick and alone. _
[A] I was gonna kill myself, just like my old [D] man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Something happened, I ain't sure what it was. _
[Bm] Best I can figure is [B] the Lord up above,
cause [A] I'm sitting here stone cold sober, singing these fucked up [D] songs.
_ _ _ _ They say [G] some things in our [A] lives are best forgotten.
_ _ _ [D] _ I say [G] those are things [A] that make us who we are.
_ _ _ [D] So be [G] proud of what you [A] got and where you [D] come from.
_ _ _ Cause [G] from blood to dust, you know [A] it ain't very [D] far.
_ _ _ I said from [G] blood to dust, you [A] know it ain't very [D] far.
_ _ _ _ No, from [G] blood to dust, [A] _ _ _
ain't very _ [D] far.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
