CAPO 3
Intro: (x2)
I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
Where my family gathered ?round my grandpa's bed
He was my best friend
He taught me how to fish
And I cried listening to my daddy pray
For one of those I've loved along the way
(same chords...)
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
After graduation she took off for Denver
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch
She was my best friend
And it broke my heart
But I don't regret the day that she became
One of those I've loved along the way
And I hope they know
I never would've made it this far on my own
Cause where would we all be without those
Fathers and mothers
Sisters and brothers
Friends I've made
Long lost lovers
I wouldn't be who I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way
Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar
Looking back down this old road I've been traveling on
It was never about trying to be some big star
For me it's always been about these songs
See they're my best friends
They're the life I lead
And I hope they've put a smile on the face
Of those I've loved along the way
Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way.
