[Intro 1]
[Csus2][G][Csus2][G]

[Verse 1]
Well [Csus2]I work for
[G]the city in [Csus2]the town where I grew up[G].
Some [Csus2]days I run a ba[G]ckhoe
[Em]some days I run [Csus2]a dump.
If I had other [G]plans on my
[Csus2]graduation [G]day,
[Csus2]Then several years ago I gue[G]ss I
[Em]hauled 'em all [Csus2]away.
Yeah I hauled 'em all away.
[G]

[Verse 2]
She [Csus2]told me she was preg[G]nant on
the [Csus2]day I turne[G]d 18.[Csus2]
I did what your sup[G]posed to do.
[Em]I bought her [Csus2]a ring.
He didn't have to [G]ask us,
but [Csus2]he asked us anyway.
[G]We [Csus2]stood up and sai[G]d,
"I [D]do." what [Em]else were we gonna [Csus2]say?
What else were we gonna [G]say?

[Verse 3]
Well I'm [D]thankful for the things I have,
And [Asus4]all the t[A]hing s I [Am]don't.[Csus2]
And [D]I've got dreams that
will come true,
[Asus4]And I've got some that[Am] won't.[Csus2]
[D]Most the time I just walk the line
[Am]wherever it goes[Csus2].
'Cuz [G]you can't [Asus4]hang your[Am]self if you[Csus2]

[Interlude 1]
ain't got enough rope.
[Csus2][G][Csus2][G]

[Verse 4]
My [Csus2]boss man is mad.[G] I di[Csus2]d
just what he [G]asked.
[Csus2]I mowed the courthouse l[G]awn watched the
[Em]prisoners walkin' past[Csus2]
I'm happy to be [G]working,
in[Csus2]stead of wearin' cha[G]ins.
[Csus2]Like my cousin Will[G]y,
[Em]he's locked up in [Csus2]the grange.
He's locked up in the [G]grange.

[Verse 5]
But I'm [D]thankful for the things I have,
And [A]all [Asus4]the things I [D]don't.[Csus2]
And [D]I've got dreams that will come true,
[Asus4]
I've got [A]some [Asus4]that won'[Csus2]t.
[D]Most the time I just walk [Asus4]the line
[Am]wherever [Asus4]it goes.[Csus2]
[G]'Cuz you can't [Asus4]hang your[Am]self if you [Csus2]ain't got

[Interlude 2]
enough rope.
[Csus2][D][Asus4][Csus2][G][Csus2]
[G]

[Verse 6]
There's [Csus2]a tavern down [G]the highway,
[Csus2]I go to drink some beers.
[G]And was[Csus2]h down all I'm missin'[G][D]
by [Em]hangin' around [Csus2]here.
Then I drive back to [G]the
[Csus2]trailer; I'll makeup with my [G]wife.
I [Csus2]kiss my sleeping children,
[G]and I g[Em]et on with my lif[Csus2]e.

[Outro 1]
Yeah I get on with my life.
