G     D
She's only seventeen
          Em          C
Known him since last week
             G       D       Em       C
Now they're stealin' down an old dirt road
        G      D
Kissin' on the grass
            Em      C
He's movin' way too fast
Am
Will she yes
      D
Will she say no

[Chorus 1]
          G              D                   Em
There's a lot ridin' on that like her whole life
          C
Like her happiness
     Am                         D
Just one wrong turn and it's a lesson you can't unlearn
                G                  D                 Em
The angels look on holdin' their breath time stands still
            C
Lord she's scared to death
          Am                                 D
Will she find the light or take temptations path
                            G   D Em C
There's a lot of ridin' on that

[Verse 2]
           G         D               Em           C
It's been one whole month he hasn't touched that stuff
           G           D             Em          C
Now he's stopped at a red light outside Billys' Bar
          G               D
One more binge and she's gone
      Em               C
That green light comes on
Am
Will he pull in or
         D
Will he just drive off

[Chorus 2]
          G              D                   Em
There's a lot ridin' on that like his whole life
          C
Like his happiness
     Am                         D
Just one wrong turn and it's a lesson you can't unlearn
                G                  D                 Em
The angels look on holdin' their breath time stands still
            C
Lord he's scared to death
          Am                                 D
Will he find the light or take temptations path
                            G
There's a lot of ridin' on that

[Bridge]
Em                             Am
You got choices little voices talking in your head
Em
Sometimes there are no second chances
Am                     G            C
Your whole world can change in one easy weigh out second

[Verse 3]
     G        D
Any girl any town
     Em           C
Tiny baby cryin' loud
          G               D                Em              C
She wore baggy shirts to hide it, but the truth is on her now
            G              D                  Em      C
There's a mission down on fifth or there's a garbage bin
         Am                         D
Such a little girl for such a big decision

[Chorus 3]
          G              D                   Em
There's a lot ridin' on that like her whole life
           C
Like her happiness
     Am                         D
Just one wrong turn and it's a lesson you can't unlearn
                G                  D                 Em
The angels look on holdin' their breath time stands still
            C
Lord she's scared to death
          Am                                 D
Will she find the light or take temptations path
                            G   D Em C G D Em C
There's a lot of ridin' on that
