Intro
C#m
[Verse]
(Spoken)
C#m
As my father lay dying I was holding his hand
C#m
He said "Son, there's one thing you must understand
C#m
All my life I've been an Almost Man
C#m
Don't make the same mistake as me
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
"'Cause I never got to drive a real fast car
A E B
Or get crazy drunk in a downtown bar
C#m B E A E
And I never even got to go that far
B C#m
There was so much I wanted to see"
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
When he made it back from that terrible war
A E B
Things were going to be different than they'd been before
C#m B E A E
'Cause he had a family and a lot to live for
B C#m
He got a job, he settled down
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
He worked real hard to keep the family tight
A E B
Everyday he did what he thought was right
C#m B E A E
But he never got ahead and try as he might
B C#m
He was always just breaking even
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
Before he knew it, it was all too late
A E B
His time had passed and time can't wait
C#m B E A E
There are some things in life you just can't beat
B C#m
It's a fight you're never going to win
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
When he died his ashes were sent through the post
A E B
And I thought about what he would have wanted the most
C#m B E A E
So, I went out and bought that real fast car and I damned the cost
B C#m
I strapped him in, we hit the highway
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m A
"Hey, old man, now you know how it feels
E B
Isn't she just the greatest set of wheels?
C#m B E A E
She's a bright red beauty of cool polished steel
B C#m
And we're gonna turn some heads today"
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
And we drove like the wind down to London town
A E B
We got crazy drunk and started falling down
C#m B E A E
And when a new day broke and we came around
B C#m
I took him down to look at the sea
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
We stood on Brighton beach, where it all began
A E B
Where my father's son became a man
C#m B E A E
And I said to him, "Now you can understand
B C#m
What you have meant to me
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
"'Cause I got you that ride in a real fast car
A E B
We got crazy drunk in a downtown bar
C#m B E A E
And we made it together and we've come this far
B C#m
And I did it all for you"
[Verse]
(Spoken)
C#m
So I'll take that ride when it's given for free
C#m
And I'll be the man he always wanted to be
C#m
And if somehow he's looking down on me
C#m
I know he'll smile and he'll say, "You did it, Al"
[Verse]
C#m B E B C#m
Let's take that drive in a real fast car
A E B
Let's get crazy drunk in every downtown bar
C#m B E A E
Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
B C#m
And take it all the way to the end
B E A E
Let's get on the road and follow that golden star
B C#m
And take it all the way - to the end
