Verse 1

G                        D/F#

 I still see the kid in me building castles by the sea

C2                                         G

 And skipping rocks across those ocean waves

G                       D/F#

 Still building buoy rafts and sailing on the Kachemak

C2                                     G

 And running wild across Alaskan plains

           Bm7                 C2          G   D

And all my yesterdays don't seem so long ago now

    Bm7                C2                G D               D

And all those early years will always seem like home somehow

It was a place I took for granted 'cause I just never understood

                G                        D/F#

And there was real pain and there were real tears

          C2                           Dsus               D

But the way my Mama loved me somehow carried all those years

It was real life        oh it was real life

And every  I look around I pray that it will last

                  C2  

And somes I take it all for granted

         Dsus         D

Even though I never should

And there is real pain and there are real tears

 When I'm old and turning grey and my boys have moved away

C2                                   G

 When it's  for me to say goodbye

G                        D/F#

 I hope I leave a legacy I hope that God is proud of me

C2                                       G

 I hope that I leave something good behind

And I'm standing in God's presence when I finally realize
