It all started back in 1981.'
E A F#m
Our life together had just begun.

I didn't know what my future would hold,
A D Bm
But you gave me a chance,
E
So I set out on the road.
A Bm
It wasn't easy going then.
E A E F#m E F#m
There were times I almost threw that old towel in,
Bm
But you kept callin me back to the stage,
A D E
And I finally found my place in each and every face.
D A
I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
Bm E A
There's still things that I want to say and do.
D A
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
Bm E A Bm E A
And just know that I'll always remember you.
[Spoken] Bm
When I first set out on the road, I figured
A E
I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks.
A
Well, it's goin on 30 now
D E F#m
And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
Bm
When I hear that announcer say my name,
D A
And I walk through those curtains
D
And see your smilin' faces,
A
My feet don't touch the ground again
E A
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.

I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this,
But I figure a few.E
