"A Simple Exercise"

My son (who is a great kid and wonderful young man) inspired this song.  It has your basic 'country' feel and structure.

The [C]sun is moving steadily, [F]shadows getting clear
[G]Dawn is quick, night is past, to-[F]day is finally [C]here
[C]TIme to do it all again, the [F]drill is quite routine
So [G]get out of bed, [G7]have a bite, and [F]get your body [C]clean.
. . . .
Don't [F]loll around and worry about [C]something in the past
Don't [F]lay there feeling powerless, come [G]on now move your ass  [G7]
It's a [C]very basic habit, it [F]comes as no surprise
To [G]get your day [G7]underway is a [F]simple exer-[C]cise.
{soc}
A [F]simple exercise
A [C]simple exercise
The im-[C]portant stuff in daily life
Is a [F]simple [G]exer-[C]cise
{eoc}
Re-[C]member your good manners, say [F]'thank you' if you please
Being [G]pleasant and respectful are [F]top priori-[C]ties
You can [C]get more flies with sugar, if [F]flies are what you want (?!)
It's [G]much more fun to [G7]smile and wave, than to [F]aggravate and [C]taunt
. . . .
You [F]need not be an expert in [C]formal etiquette
To [F]understand that what you give is ex-[G]actly what you get  [G7]
[C]Living life with honor, it [F]comes as no surprise
Be-[G]having in a [G7]civilized way is a [F]simple exer-[C]cise
{soc}
A [F]simple exercise
A [C]simple exercise
The im-[C]portant stuff in daily life
Is a [F]simple [G]exer-[C]cise
{eoc}
To [C]be an honest person should [F]be a daily aim
[G]Knowing what is wrong from right is [F]part of being [C]sane
[C]Honesty is precious, don't [F]compromise your pride
If [G]you are always [G7]truthful, then [F]truth is on your [C]side
. . . .
[F]Everyday you'll hear some stuff, that [C]people say to you
[F]Realize that what they say it may [G]not be actually true  [G7]
[C]Sorting fact from fiction, it [F]comes as no surprise
[G]Figuring out what [G7]makes good sense is a [F]simple exer-[C]cise
{soc}
A [F]simple exercise
A [C]simple exercise
The im-[C]portant stuff in daily life
Is a [F]simple [G]exer-[C]cise
{eoc}
Suc-[C]cess is more than money, suc-[F]cess is working hard
You'll [G]never be successful if you're a [F]lazy ol' tub of [C]lard
[C]Train your brain to understand and [F]also to create
The [G]world needs lots of [G7]heros, it [F]never is too [C]late
. . . .
[F]Focus on the work at hand, [C]try to 'git 'er done'
[F]Later on when the task is over there's [G]time to have some fun  [G7]
It's a [C]very basic habit, it [F]comes as no surprise
To [G]be a successful [G7]person is a [F]simple exer-[C]cise.
{soc}
A [F]simple exercise
A [C]simple exercise
The im-[C]portant stuff in daily life
Is a [F]simple [G]exer-[C]cise
