A                     D             A                                 E7 
I was running from my master, and I tried out every new thing I could find
       A                       D         A              E7             A
But my life turned into one disaster, without the Lord I almost blew my mind


(Chorus)
A                       D         A                            E7
I was sitting in the front seat, trying really hard to be the driver
A                      D             
Thinking I was making real good time, 
    A               E7            A   Asus4 A
but always winding up the late arriver
    D                           A         
But now I've been riding in the back seat, 
      E7                         A Asus4 A
and I see it is a very great relief
D                      A          
Now I'm trying out the back seat, 
         E                             D     A
and I'm leaving all the driving to the chief

(on ending) A E A

A                           D          
I went barrelling out full speed ahead, 
          A                                 E7
I went a-running every stop sign that I'd see
A                             D              
Thinking I'd give the Lord a short cut, yeah, 
     A                    E7               A
but I found out he don't need no help from me

(Chorus)
