I’VE MADE ALL MY BETS…..Steve Boileau
V1
D G
When I sit alone, and the darkness comes home,
A7 D
And the memories of life crawl in.
D G
I ponder if, the life I’ve lived,
A7 D
was worth it all in the end.
D G
I traveled long roads, carried heavy loads,
A7 D
slept out in the pouring rain.
D G
I’ve sang to the masses, wore shiney sunglasses,
A7 D
Lived hard, never feeling no pain.
……………………
Chorus;
G D
I’ve got no regrets, I’ve made all my bets,
A7 D
I’ve won and lost , that’s true.
G D A7 D
Now here I stand, proud of the man, who’s looking right back at you.
………………………..
v2
D G
I’ve taken some chances, had one night dances,
A7 D
Been called a kid and a king.
D G
I’ve been up and down, but never pushed around,
A7 D
I’ve battled whatever life brings.
D G
My kids have all grown, they throw lots of stones,
A7 D
At reflections of me in the night.
D G
A father not a friend, is who I am in the end,
A7 D
Just doing what he thinks is right.
……………………….
Repeat chorus…
V3
D G
The loves, the friends, the bars the fights,
A7 D
The mountains and valleys of time.
D G
Are the stories I write, in my songs at night,
A7 D
With words and rhythm and rhyme.
D G
Older and gray from living this way,
A7 D
Than I ever thought I would be.
D G
A new dawn, a new song, a new love that is strong,
A7 D
Turned out good for a fella like me
………………………..
repeat chorus x 2
