Biography:
Bentley's musical style is considered to be more traditional than many of his contemporaries and often contains traditional themes of lost or forbidden love, drinking and cheating. "Lot of leavin' left to do", one of his biggest singles, is also reminiscent of Waylon Jennings' style of Outlaw country with Western Swing influences.
Early life
Dierks Bentley was born in Phoenix, Arizona. Then he moved to Lawrenceville, New Jersey, where he attended the Lawrenceville School, graduating in 1993.[1]

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Live, Dierks plays it a step down, making the Am a Bm, the F a G, and the C
a D. If you want to play it that way, you can just transpose it. I like to
play it in regular tuning though. Just personal preference. Sounds exactly
the same.
Standard tuning
No Capo
[Intro] Am F C x2
[Verse 1]
Am
Its just an old beat up truck
F
Some say that I should trade up
C
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket
Am
But what they dont understand
F
Is its the miles that make a man
C
I wouldnt trade that thing in for a rocket
Am
What they dont know is my dad and me
F
We drove her out to Tennessee
C G
And shes still here and now hes gone
Am F C
So I hold on
Am
Its just an old beat up box
F
Its rusty strings across the top
C
It probly dont look like much to you
Am
But these dents and scratches in the wood
F
Yea thats what makes it sound so good
C
To me its better than brand new
Am
Yea see this here flat top guitar
F
Has had my back in a million bars
C G
Singing every country song
Am F C
So I hold on
[Chorus]
F C
To the things, I believe in
G Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
F
To the things I can count on
C G
To keep me going strong
Am F C
Yeah I hold on
Am F C
I hold on
F
Like the stripes to the flag
C G
Like a boy to his dad
F C G
I cant change who I am, right or wrong
Am F C x2
So I hold on
[Verse 2]
Am
Baby lookin at you right now
F
There aint never been no doubt
C
Without you Id be nothing
Am F
So if you ever worry about, me walkin out
C
