[Cadd9]Well I work for the [G]city, in the [Cadd9]town where I grew [G]up
[Cadd9]Some days I run the [G]backhoe[G/F#], and [Em]some days I run the [Cadd9]dump
[Cadd9]If I had other [G]plans on my [Cadd9]graduation [G]day
[Cadd9]Then several years [G]ago, I [G/F#]guess I [Em]hauled''em all[Cadd9] away
Yeah I hauled ''em all[G] away
Verse 2:
She told me she was pregnant, on the day I turned 18
And I did what you''re supposed to do, I bought her a ring
He didn''t have to ask us but he asked us anyway
And we stood up and said I do What else were we gonna say
What else were we gonna say
Chorus:
[D]Well I''m thankful for the things I have
And [Em]all the things I d[Cadd9]on''t
[D]I got dreams that will come true
And [Em]I got some that [Cadd9]won''t
[D]Most the time I just walk the line
[Em]Wherever it [Cadd9]goes
[G]Cause you can''t[Cadd9] hang yourself
If you ain''t got enough rope[G] [Cadd9] [G]
Verse 3:
My boss man is the mayor, I do just what he asks
I mow the courthouse lawn, watch the prisoners walking past
I''m happy to be working, instead of wearing chains
Like my cousin Willie, he''s locked up in La Grange
He''s locked up in La Grange.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4:
There''s a tavern down the highway, I go to drink some beers
And wash down all I''m missing by hanging around here
Then I drive back to the trailer I make up with my wife
I kiss my sleeping children and I get on with my life
Yeah I get on with my life
[Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [G]
