[Intro]
G x2
[Verse 1]
G
Here's to the daddies who drive 'em big ole trucks
G
Doing what they've gotta do to fill their babies' bellies up
C G
And here's to the mamas who hold the fort down while they're gone
G C G
Making those miles all worthwhile when they get back home
G C G
And here's to the teachers who are up at the crack of dawn
G C G
Learning our little ones to read and write, showing them right from wrong
G C G C
And here's to the doctors who save the little boys and girls
G D G
Who you never know, might one day grow up to save the world
[Chorus]
G C G C
And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
G C G C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives
G D
Lord knows they'd rather be right here
C D
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
G
Needing a beer
G C G
[Verse 2]
G C G
Here's to the farmer who was gonna come out tonight
G C G
But there's hay on the ground and it's gonna pour down and he's running outta light
G C G C
And here's to the banker who gave him a few more weeks
G D G
'Cause he knows a man who knows that hard can't lose no more sleep
[Chorus]
G C G C
And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
G C G C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives
G D
Lord knows they'd rather be right here
C D
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
C
Needing a beer
G D C G D
[Bridge]
Am
To all you unsung heroes
G
We owe you a round
C
I'll buy one for you next time
D
And I'll drink one for you now
[Chorus]
G C G C
Here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
G C G C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives

So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
