Verse 1:
          Cm7
I've been good-time drunk
             Ab
Enough to be bad-time sober
        Eb                                  Bb
Broke a map dot's heart when it disappeared over my shoulder
          Cm7
I've been head strong right and dead end wrong
Ab
Good with God, but I dropped the ball
         Eb
Spend my whole life holding on
    Bb
But even when I fell off

Chorus:
                       Cm7
The ride was worth the fall
                       Ab
The fall was worth the smiles

Verse 2:
          Cm7
Had some "nowhere near it"s
          Ab
And some "almost was"s
          Eb
Left some mommas in tears
         Bb
And some daddy's still cussin'
              Cm7
'Cause what I should done and what could been
     Ab                              Eb                  Bb
Even knowin' now what I didn't know, then I'd climb back on again
