Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Thanks for joining us for[D] the Tho[G]mas
Rhett "Life [Em]Changes" album release special
On [C]Big [G]Machine [Em]Radio
We are playing all the songs
off the [C]album for you, and
I gotta be honest, [G]there are some song on

[Verse 2]
[Em]here
that maybe some [C]people might think
"Oh, you [G]know, [Em]that was a curve ball or
The sound of [C]that,
maybe," this [G]one actually kinda caught me [D]by surprise
Because it's [C]perhaps one of
[G]the more country sounding songs
On [D]here, [C]in terms [G]of fiddle
and throwback
It reminded me of kinda [D]Alabama
[C]thr[G]owback
"Drink A Little Beer",
which [D]features your dad on there
And he also [C]had a hand in writ[G]ing that, so
I [Em]mean talk to me about
this song and [C]the fact that
In some ways, [G]I mean it's [Em]al most
like blending his 90s career
With where you [C]are [G]today

[Verse 3]
[Em]Yeah, I think it's hilarious that
I think it kinda [C]proves that we've curved
[G]out enough of [Em]a lane in this genre
For that [C]to be the weirdest song
[G]on the record
(It kinda shocked
me) I think like
That's such a funny,
and I think [D]that's why I cut it 'cause I think
I [C]love just making [G]people be like,
"Wow"
Like "I was def[D]initely
not expect[C]ing that"
And this [G]is one of those ones that I think,
I know [D]for a fact when people hear this record
When [C]they get to that song [G]they're gonna think, "I cannot
believe [D]that this track [C]is [G]on [D]here"[C][G]
And so, it's [D]nice to [C]just div[G]e back in to
what I grew up listening to
And [D]actually cut an original song that has such an
ode to like 70s and [G]80scountry
And especially to have my dad,
who that's [D]when he grew up
[G]Uhm, to have a song like [C]that with him on it
That [G]basically describes why he loves
country music in the [D]first place
[C]And so the song is [G]cool, and
the song is super catchy
And I think it'll be a really [D]great song live,
but more so than that
[C]It's just, you kno[G]w, as old as I get
I can always [D]say that me and my [C]dad
sang a song together on my [G]re cord

[Verse 4]
Well, and I was gonna [G]ask, the end
is kinda fun
And some[D]body described [C]to me, "Oh, wait the
[G]Alan Jackson moment's gonna be coming"
So [D]did you guys just [C]sorta leave
the tape rolling or was that planned?
[G]Like, "Hey, we're just gonna
riff at the end of this song"
[D]Well, you know when the song ends it

[Verse 5]
[C]goes
into that [G]double time section at the end
Which is such as staple
of that time or period
And also was the guy talking over the outro
[Em]And [G]so l[D]ik[C]e we[G] decid[D]ed
that we were
[C]just kinda gonna [G]go [D]bac[C]k and fort[G]h, and
You know jab at each [D]other a [C]little bit,
and it was [G]just really, really fun
Yeah, I loved your dad's line, "I taught you [D]everything [C]you know,
[G]but not everything I kno[D]w"[C]
Exactly, I'm pretty sure he stole
[G]that from someone
I'm sure he did,
but he'll [D]never [C]tel[G]l you who
Well, [D]again [C]it's called "Drink A Little Beer"
[G]it features Thomas's dad Rhett Akins
And it is on Big Machine Radio
