[Am] [Dm]
[C] [D]
[G] [Dm]
[D]
I [G] was 16 years old and like any [E] other 16 year old [Dm] boy, I had [D] one thing.
[D]
I wanted a gun.
[Dm]
[C] [D] And so me and my daddy were riding down the road one day and the reason we were riding
down [Dm] the road was he had to put a stop, a comma in his day to take me to baseball practice.
And I was 16.
I looked at myself and I said, Daddy, you know, if you would buy me a car, I got $500.
And if you'd loan me $500, there's this little car over here for $1,000.
If I could take the girls to school and drive me back and forth to baseball practice, save you losses.
He looked at me and he said, Son, you keep that $500 and I will buy you the car on one condition.
[D]
I [Dm] said, what's that?
And he said, if you [E] take that loan.
[Dm]
[G] Now my daddy was a preacher, so I figured he [Dm] knew.
I said, Daddy, Jesus had a long house.
I was thinking.

He said, yeah, and he walked everywhere he went too.

Oh, and I'd live my life [D]
for you if I was Jesus.

love you with amazing [D] grace.
