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