He was born and raised a quiet little boy, he was Mama's pride and Daddy's joy
AD
Just another kid trying to find his voice
DG
Cartoons, Boy Scouts, and Little League, his daddy said he watched too much TV
AD
That rock and roll music is just a bunch of noise
Chorus 1:
BmADG
He sang "Amazing Grace" on Sundays but couldn't find it for himself
GADD7/F#
As God was his witness, man, he needed something else
GADD/F#G
Boys on the corner said "We got something that'll drown your innocence"
GAD
You're a man in need of liquid confidence
Well he finally moved out and got a place of his own, minimum wage at the Texaco
Met a pretty little girl, stranded and all broke down
He said "I got a six-shot, a 12-pack of beer, I'll fix you up and we'll get out of here
We don't need much to paint this town
Chorus 2:
Well, he sang "Amazing Grace" on Sundays but couldn't find it for himself
As God was his witness, man, he needed something else
She knew he might be crazy but she loved his recklessness
He was a man possessing liquid confidence

He was out all night while she paid the rent wondering where all the good times went
She packed her bags and she was waiting by the door
The sun was coming up as he was coming in, she said "I'm leaving! Where you been?"
And that six-shot left her lying on the floor
Chorus 3:
He sang "Amazing Grace" on Sundays but couldn't find it for himself
As God was his witness, man, he needed something else
Couldn't find the courage to say a word in his defense
So they gave him life with liquid confidence
Guitar Solo
