[Verse 1]
[G]Wel[F]l,[G]
[C]broken down outside Bakersfield
[G]Man[C] it started to [G]snow.
[C]Sleepin' sittin' up in the front seat
Cold wind, it [G]blows.
Well [C]now, people if you feel
for your mortal [G]souls[F]
Get a job [G]workin' at the
[C]grocery store.

[Verse 2]
'Cause, [F]CHORUS
This life, [C]it ain't right for
[G]everybody.[F]
Everbody'd do it now, [G]if it was [F]easy.
This life, it [C]ain't right for everybody,
[G]But it sure's been good to me.

[C]Drivin' thirty- five miles an hour
'Cross that [G]Texas heat,
[C]Engine burnin' [Em]like the fires [C]of Hell
Just to melt the shoes of my [G]feet.
Well, it's [C]three mechanics
in a hundred miles
And nothin's [G]wrong.
Didn't [F]get nothing' outta that
[G]trip but another song.
