Cody Jinks – Lifers (Guitar)

   Bm
He wakes with the chickens and the Waco sun

         Em                 G
He's got mouths to feed and cattle to run

Bm
Same as his daddy and his daddy done

     G
It's all he's ever known

        Bm
In this modern world movin' break-neck fast

       Em             G
He's a dyin' breed, a thing of the past

Bm
He'll be damned if he don't hit back

       G
If you stand in his way

             A
When there's nothin' more to say

   G
So here's to the lifers

D                      A
Workin' long after the day is done

G
Here's to the broke-backs

    D                      A
The last of the Great Generation

           Em
It seems they still dream

        Bm
She's a renaissance girl with a fire in her soul

            Em                        G
She's got a pocket full of nothin', nobody tells her "no"

    Bm
She flew into town twenty years ago

       G
With a guitar and a song

           Bm
She's been playin' them rooms but she ain't got far

     Em                      G
Been livin' off tips in them Broadway bars

        Bm
She's a troubadour queen but time left its mark

    G
The scene's passed her by

     A
In a world that's passed her by

   G
So here's to the lifers

D                      A
Workin' long after the day is done

G
Here's to the broke-backs

    D                      A
The last of the Great Generation

           Em
It seems they still dream

         Bm                     G
No, they don't give up and they don't give in

     D                     A
When things don't go their way

           Bm                               G
Yeah we're gettin' knocked down, yeah we're gettin' back up

        D           A
Live to die another day

   G
So here's to the lifers

D                      A
Workin' long after the day is done

G
Here's to the broke-backs

    D                      A
The last of the Great Generation

           Em
It seems they still dream
