Spirit Of A Boy Wisdom Of A Man
Recorded by Randy Travis
Written by Trey Bruce and Glen Burtnick

C         F               C
He was sixteen tender and tough
                           F                  G7
She was too and he'd do anything to prove his love
     F       C         G7  Em        Am
With so much riding on the choice at hand
    G7          F          G7          C
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

              F                 C
Hearts caught fire and love ran wild
              F                                        G7
She cried the day she called to say she was having his child
     F       C         G7  Em        Am
With so much riding on the choice at hand
    G7          F          G7          C
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

          G7                                F                   C
There's a constant contradiction what feels good and what feels right
    F               G7           C                G7
But you live with decisions that you make in your life
         C           G7                        Am
And what steers your direction is hard to understand
    G7          F                      G7
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man

C               F                            C
Now he drives a diesel out of Dallas hauling cars out to the coast
             F                               G7
It ain't the dream that he remembered just a few short years ago
                 F                           C
But tonight at a truck stop while drinking a cup
    F                                   G7
The waitress grins and winks at him and says my shifts almost up

F            C             G7        Am   G7
With so much riding on the choice at hand
    F                      C
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
F            C             G7        Am   G7
With so much riding on the choice at hand
                F          G7          C
The spirit of a boy or the wisdom of a man
