Intro
E F#m A 2x
Verse
Well I [E]never been
To the Great Divide
My [F#m]journey started when I was just five
And I [A]don't know why, I don't know [E]why
Verse
Somehow I've been to places I've never been
And I lived through things I don't understand
An I know things I'm not supposed to know
Chorus
But I'm [F#m]fine with it
I just get [A]on with it
Cause I can't [E]change it
Verse
They say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old
But I've got a story that's yet to've been told
So I'm telling it while I'm living it
Verse
It's the boys from the past that blaze my path
Waylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest
It's their blood and sweat that made this dirt red
Chorus
But I'm fine with it
I just get on with it
Cause I can't change it
Bridge
The [A]day the red dirt blew through Texas
The voices of a thousand souls fell [E]gently around my [C#m]shoulders
Like a [E]long lost friend
I said "[F#m]Hello Boys, I'm glad you're here
But there's [A]work to be done so grab yourself a [E]chair"
Bridge
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
The voices of a thousand exes sang out to me in harmonies
Like I never heard before
I said "Hello girls, I'm glad you're here
But there's work to be done could you bring us one more beer"
Verse
So Mike and Cody, I'm calling on you
Fifty Dollar Blue and Stoney, you too
Wade's got his getaway yeah and I've got mine
Verse
We gotta keep it true
We gotta see it through
We're gonna carry this torch it'll get us through
Oh and Jason says we gotta do what we gotta do
Chorus
But I'm fine with it
I just get on with it
Cause I can't change it
Bridge
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
Like a long lost friend
I said "Hello Boys, I'm glad you're here
But there's work to be done so grab yourself a chair"
Bridge
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
I cried a thousand tears for those who came before
An those who'll soon follow
I said "Hello Boys, I'm glad you're here
But there's work to be done so grab yourself a chair"

Well I never been
To the Great Divide
My journey started when I was just five
And I don't know why, I don't know why
