[Verse]
A E
i paid my dues and i done my time
F#m D A
had my fair share of women that aint no lie
A E
travelled clear across the country just to get away
F#m D A
with a dollor in my pocket at the end of the day
[Chorus]
A E
and i toss my coin into a wishing well
F#m D A
guess i paid god just to burn in hell
A E
if it dont kill you, it'll keep you strong
F#m D A
theres only one way to learn right from wrong,
A E
just keep your chin up and hold yer head up high
F#m D A
dont let an opportunity pass you on by
A E
take a deep breath of the cool night air
F#m D A
to feel the roaring of the engines and the wind in your hair
A E F#m D A
in your hair in your hair in your hair ,in your hair
[Verse]
A E
put a price on freedom baby it aint cheap
F#m D A
i hitchen outa town and on a train i leap
A E
I'm gunna catch my dinner on the end of my line
F#m D A
and wash it all down with a bottle of wine
A E
then i met a woman that aint even the start
F#m D A
well she must of been a thief because she stole my heart
A E
so i carved her out a ring and asked if she'd be mine
F#m D A
she replied with a kiss and then she tossed me a dime
[Chorus]
A E
and i toss my coin into a wishing well
F#m D A
guess i paid god just to burn in hell
A E
if it dont kill you, it'll keep you strong
F#m D A
theres only one way to learn right from wrong,
A E
just keep your chin up and hold yer head up high
F#m D A
dont let an opportunity pass you on by
A E
take a deep breath of the cool night air
F#m D A
to feel the roaring of the engines and the wind in your hair
A E F#m D A
in your hair in your hair in your hair ,in your hair
