VERSE 1
C G C G
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up
C G Em C
Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump
G C G
If I had other plans on my graduation day
C G Em C
Then several years ago I guess I hauled 'em all away
G
Yeah I hauled 'em all away
VERSE 2
C G C G
She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned 1
C G Em C
I did what your supposed to do I bought her a ring
G C G
He didn't have to ask us but he asked us anyway
C G Em C
We stood up and said “I do ” what else were we gonna say
G
What else were we gonna say
CHORUS
D
Well I'm thankful for the things I have
Em C
And all the things I don't
D
I've got dreams that will come true
Em C
And I've got some that won't
D Em C
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes
G D C G
Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
VERSE 3
C G C G
My boss man is mad I did just what he asked
C G Em C
I mowed the courthouse lawn watched the prisoners walkin' past
G C G
I'm happy to be working instead of wearin' chains
C G Em C
Like my cousin Willy he's locked up in the grange
G
He's locked up in the grange
CHORUS
D
But I'm thankful for the things I have
Em C
And all the things I don't
D
I've got dreams that will come true
Em C
I've got some that won't
D Em C
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes
G D C G
Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
VERSE 4
C G C G
There's a tavern down the highway I go to drink some beers
C G Em C
And wash down all I'm missin' by hangin' around here
G C G
Then I drive back to the trailer I'll makeup with my wife
C G Em C
I kiss my sleeping children and I get on with my life
G
Yeah I get on with my life
