There Must Be More- Joshua Ingram
G D Em C
I quit school at 21, seemed like I was going nowhere
thought life could be a little more fun than lashing my ambition to a plastic chair
I drove south until I could see Fort Worth in the sky
Leading me home to my family repeating to myself a hundred reasons why
All I could think in the darkness between where I'm going and where I'm from
is there's got to be something to satisfy me, and my longing for a reason to run
D C
Looking to the future, I was wasting today living for tomorrow I might never meet
Planning, preparing for what lay ahead and missing what lay at my feet
There must be more to this life than making a living, than taking a wife
I've got plans for how my life will turn out but I'll let them ride
Cause there must be more
There was this girl who thought she should be my wife
but we were moving a little too fast
Was not long before we found out that
sometimes love last
p.c.
Chorus
Drove out to Big Bend to take a break, stood on a mountain and looked down
on all the world just moving in the same way, never taking time to look around
from the top of the world I hollered STOP!
the air moved through my hair, the sunlight lit warm upon my face
the mountains rose where the river flows and I thank God that I finally found this place
There must be more to this life than making a living, than taking a wife
I've got plans for how my life will turn out but I'll let them ride
D
Cause I won't listen when they say it can't be done
gonna keep pushin' till I'm dead and gone
G D Em C
There must be more, more, more to this life
