Daddy Ain’t Proud (Acoustic)

[Intro]
A 1, 2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]
Well once upon a time in some other life
I was a straight A kid
Had a free ride to college if I'd a just held on y'all
But that ain't what I did
'Cause there was a sound coming out of my stereo
That kept me up late at night
And I followed that voice down a left hand path when
I probably should have went right
But that rock and roll was the road I chose

[Chorus]
Mama's disappointed, daddy ain't proud
When they stop and think how my life's turned out
Accomplished some things, nothing did amount
Mama's disappointed and daddy ain't proud, naw

[Verse 2]
Well I turned eighteen and I started working
On some assembly line
But I soon learned can't get by earning seven seventy five
But me and some friends saved up and bought guitars
A couple old amplifiers
Got an old work van with hole's in the exhaust
And a couple dry rotted tire's
But we couldn't be told, it was not safe for the road

[Chorus]
Mama's disappointed, daddy ain't proud
When they stop and think how my life's turned out
Accomplished some things, nothing did amount
Mama's disappointed and daddy ain't proud, naw

[Bridge]
I can't say, that I was driven
No, just did not wanna die without ever livin'

[Verse 3]
Well sweet sixteen turned into middle age y'all
In the blink of an eye
Made a few decent records wrote a few hundred songs but
Didn't none of them fly
But I lucked out found a real good woman
To keep me safe and insured
Supports my dream of being John Q Rockstar
All though it sounds so absurd
But it's too late now, to ever turn me around

[Chorus]
Mama's disappointed, daddy ain't proud
When they stop and think how my life's turned out
Accomplished some things, nothing did amount
Mama's disappointed, daddy ain't proud
Mama's disappointed, daddy ain't proud
When they stop and think how my life's turned out
Accomplished some things, nothing did amount
Mama's disappointed and daddy ain't proud, naw
