Think I'll get up to Carson City, see them big bright blinkin' lights
A
Adios, old Nevada. Far West to the Golden State
D
I got my suits together and I'm almost to A
[Chorus]

If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
A G D
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest
[Break]

[Verse 2]
N.C. A
I left that angel city for the Frisco Bay
D
At time it was hard on me, I had to get away
A
Walkin' with my guitar down Divisidero Street
D
The people give me money for the way I sing and play
[Chorus]
G D
If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
A G D
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest
[Break]

Believe me I would choose this life over the rest
[Verse 3]
A
You know I really like it in this 49er town
D
But I've got to step on over to that redwood highway now
A
Mendocino County bring me lots of joy
D
It's opened up the eyes of this wanderin' Texas boy
[Chorus]
G D
If the way I'm livin', seem like just a mess
A G D
Believe me I would choose this life over the rest
[Outro]
G A G D
Oh, believe me I would choose this life over the rest
