Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Listen up and I'll tel[C]l
you what you'll [G]do[D]
[G]Forget about mus[C]ic and[D] alcohol too[G]
For[C]get about your baby
We got [Am]other work [D]for you

[Verse 2]
Better [G]drink yer glasses [C]empty now
It's [D]time to rise and [Em]shine
There's [G]one less [C]cause in the world
[D]To be leaving for[G]

[Verse 3]
It was back [C]in 39
When [D]I was one year o[G]ld
Sitting by [C]the backyard fence
And the [D]world had turned [G]so cold
[C]Drink yer glasses

[Verse 4]
empty now
Was [D]all that they [G]were told

[Verse 5]
[G]Drink [A]yer glasses empty now
It's [D]time to hit [G]the sky
To the tune of thun[A]der
There's no [D]time to wonder [C]why
[Am]

[Verse 6]
We'd [G]love to take life [C]over
that is [G]plain[D][G]
Forget about [C]sorrow, [D]forget about pai[G]n
[C]And watch a John Wayne movie
To re[Am]mind us once [D]again

[Verse 7]
Better [G]drink [C]yer glasses empty now
It's [D]time to hit [Em]the line
You [C]got [G]one less [C]cause in [D]the world
To be leaving for
[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Drink yer glasses [A]girls and boys
It's [D]time to hit [G]the sky
To the tune of [A]thunder
There's a [D]tear in every [C]eye
[Am]

[Verse 9]
[G]I'd like to take [C]things
one at a [G]time[D][G]
Forget about [C]reason,
[D]forget about rhyme
[G]Because [C]beg, steal or borrow
You got an[Am]other hill to [D]climb

[Verse 10]
So [G]drink yer glasses [C]empty now
It's [D]time to hit the [Em]road
There's [G]one less [C]cause in the [D]world
To be leaving for
[G]

[Verse 11]
[G]Drink yer glasses [A]girls and boys
It's [D]time to hit [G]the sky
To the tune of [A]thunder
There's no [D]time to wonder why

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am]

[Verse 12]
[G]We'd like to take [C]life over [G]again[D][G]
When time of [C]war had passed
[D]away into the [G]rain
And [C]watch a John Wayne movie
To re[Am]mind us of the plain[D]s

[Verse 13]
Just [G]drink yer glasses [C]empty now
It's [D]time to rise and [Em]shine
There's [G]one [C]less cause in [D]the world
To be leaving for
[G]

[Verse 14]
Listen up and I'll tell you what
is true
They done some thinking and
they changed a thing or two
You been living in the hindsight
Of a backwards point of view
So drink yer glasses empty now It's time to hit the road

[Verse 15]
[G]There's
one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
