[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]The sun just got through go[D]ing [G]down
On a sleepy little Texas
[Dsus4]town[G]
Population [Dsus4]plus one, minu[G]s one[C]
A new Grand[G]ma rocks my sister's kid
Just like [C]twenty [G]years ago, she did
[C]The same [G]thing in that same [Dsus4]chair
[G]She [C]said, "This one's born to run"
[D][C][G][D][G][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Eve[G]ry day at[C] noo[G]n,
like [D]a chapel [G]bell
[C]Find [G]her Jesus, [D]keep [G]her well
[C]Help [G]her do more right than wrong
at the en[C]d of the day
I got five [G]good years and [D]a tank [G]of gas
[C]Fifty [G]watts an' Joh[D]nny Cas[G]h
[C]A gui[G]tar and a [D]broken [G]heart
Just [C]full of things [D]to say

[Verse 3]
You [Am]taught me how to stand
[G]those tests and trials[C]
But you can't [Am]see a desert
[G]sunrise in the [C]Bible

[Verse 4]
[D]She lov[C]es me mor[G]e than any[D]thing
[G]An' she want[C]s the w[G]orld f[D]or me[G]
Her [C]west [G]dropped off in El [D]Paso
[G]And her nor[C]th in Abi[D]lene
[C]Mama, [G]I'm [D]okay out here
[G]I've see[C]n how har[G]d the wor[D]ld can be[G]
My [C]step is [G]sure an' [D]I know my [Em]name
I'm [C]strong just [G]like you [D]prayed I'd be
[G]I'm str[C]ong just lik[G]e you pra[D]yed
I'd [G]be

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][Em][D][C]
[Em]If I'd have

[Verse 5]
[C]done [G]what you and
[D]Dad[G]dy'd done
Would have [C]never [G]lost and nev[D]er won
[G]Or got[C]ten mys[G]elf kicked[D] when I[G] was down[C]
I would [G]not know how
[D]to travel [G]well
[C]A hundred buck[G]s an' c[D]heap motels
[G]I wou[C]ld not[G] know how
to fight for my own
[C]Heart next time [D]around

[Verse 6]
Now [Am]don't you cry an
[G]other night [C]about me
In this [Am]city I've got [G]an
gels all [C]around [D]me

[Verse 7]
She [C]loves me [G]more than [D]anything
[G]An' she wants t[C]he worl[G]d for [D]me[G]
Her [C]west dropped [G]off in [D]El Paso
[G]And her nor[C]th in Abi[D]lene
Hey [C]Mama, [G]I'm oka[D]y out here
[G]I've see[C]n how har[G]d the wor[D]ld can be[G]
My [C]step is [G]sure an' I know
[D]my nam[Em]e
I'm [C]strong just [G]like you [D]prayed I'd be
[G]I'm str[C]ong just lik[G]e you pra[D]yed I'd be
[G]I felt it

[Verse 8]
[C]every [G]time you [D]prayed for [Em]me
I'm [C]strong just [G]like you [D]prayed
I'd [G]be
