As recorded by Lori McKenna (From the 2023 Album 1988) [Intro] G C [Verse 1]
G
That old house on tattooed skin

G
At the end of the road where it began

        C
We were too dumb to know we didn't know anything

C
And too young for making those plans

           G
Would have all went to hell if not for you

G
I guess those storms made us weatherproof

       C
That's where I was born, and that's just the truth

C
I promise you ever since then
[Chorus]
C         G                                 C
I've been thanking God for the plans He made

C
Looking back on those early days

   Em7                    D
Between playing house and praying for grace

           C
I hope you understand

                                    G
I've been your biggest fan since 1988

   C
1988
[Verse 2]
G
Oil stains on that old driveway

G
Overtime and bills we couldn't pay

C
One on the hip, one on the way

C
Smiling in the TV light

  G
I held you all tight, one at a time

G
Every beat of your heart, I felt inside mine

     C
It's all wrapped up in the days gone by

C
You taught me everything that I know
[Chorus]
      G
So I'm thanking God for the plans He made

C
And looking back on those early days

     Em                    D
Half scared to death, half stupid brave

           C
I hope you understand

                                    G
I've been your biggest fan since 1988

   C
1988
[Bridge]
            D
We left our names in fresh concrete

         C
Wrestled angels in summer feet

      D
Glory days down that side street

      C                                  G
Those years made him, those years made me
[Chorus]
G                             C
Thanking God for the plans He made

                               D
And soaking in these dreams we chase

   Em                           D
Between growing up and standing right here today

           C
I hope you understand

                                    G
I've been your biggest fan since 1988

   C
1988
[Outro]
                        G
I've been your biggest fan

         C    G
Since 1988
