[Intro]
A D

[Verse]
D
Well the motorcycle club had a party
G D
And the all young virgins were there
G D
And I found a blonde with little bitty titties
E A
And a pretty little ribbon in her hair
D
And I told her the Three Biggest Lies in the world
G D
The ones my daddy first told me
G D
And that was the beginning of my sexual life
A D
And the end of my fantasy

[Chorus]
D
I said, 'This will only hurt for a little while
G D
I'll only put the head of it in
G D A D
I promise that I'll never try to cum in your mouth.'

[Verse]
D
Met her at a local honky-tonk
G D
Told her it was love at first sight
G D
She was just lookin' for a shoulder to cry on
E A
And a place where she could spend the night
D
Me I was a little nervous
G D
Never been that far before
G D
So I told her the Three Biggest Lies in the world
A D
As we danced across the floor.

[Chorus]
D
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life
G
You got yours an' I got mine.
A
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
D
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
D
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train
G
Listen to that engine whine.
A
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night,
C D
An' I'm doin' alright.

[Verse]
D
Busted in a Birmingham robbery
G D
He didn't have the money for bail
G D
The judge held him over to the local grand jury
E A
And the sheriff threw his young ass in jail
D
They put him in the cell with a pervert
G D
Who later tried to climb into his bed
G D
Stuck one of them homemade knives to his throat
A D
And these are the words that he said, 'good buddy.'

[Chorus]
D
An' I'm doin all right, livin' my life
G
You got yours an' I got mine.
A
Yeah, it may not look like much to you,
D
But it's simple an' it suits me fine.
D
Yeah, the sound of the rain an' a lonely old train
G
Listen to that engine whine.
A
'Cause I am what I am an' I sleep good at night,
C D
An' I'm doin' alright.
