        G                                   Am7
I had a dream that I was sitting across the table from a man

          Fadd9                             Fadd9
He said, "Son, you got two choices" holding something in each hand

G                               Am7
One had all the money you could ever spend on Earth

    Fadd9                        Fadd9
The other just a few seeds and a little pile of dirt

G                            Am7                     Fadd9
 I started reaching for that dollar just like anyone else

                     Fadd9
Then I stopped and I thought to myself
[Chorus]
G                          Am7                 Fadd9
 I've seen the lights of L.A. from a penthouse suite

                          Fadd9                    G
I've drank the finest champagne at thirty thousand feet

                        Am7                              Fadd9
I've worn a house on my wrist, got all these names in my phone

                       Fadd9
But everything on that list ain't got nothing on

G                              Am7                          Fadd9
 Pickin' on some Hank around a fire, sippin' on a beer in a blind

                           Fadd9
Or watchin' God paint the sky when the day is done

G                                  Am7
 Hell with all that gold, it don't shine

                                  Fadd9
Like the morning sun through them pines

                           Fadd9                      G
You keep that money, buddy, I'll take the country and run
[Post-Chorus] | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | |=========|=========|=========|=========| | G | Am7 | Fadd9 | Fadd9 | [Verse 2]
   G                                  Am7
So I woke up and walked out felt that early morning chill

      Fadd9                      Fadd9
Steam rolling off my coffee, fog rolling off the hills

     G                                  Am7
Even if I had the chance now I wouldn't change it if it could

        Fadd9                                      Fadd9
I got a truck and a dog and a buck on the wall and y'all, I've got it pretty damn good
[Chorus]
G                          Am7                 Fadd9
 I've seen the lights of L.A. from a penthouse suite

                          Fadd9                    G
I've drank the finest champagne at thirty thousand feet

                        Am7                              Fadd9
I've worn a house on my wrist, got all these names in my phone

                       Fadd9
But everything on that list ain't got nothing on

G                              Am7                          Fadd9
 Pickin' on some Hank around a fire, sippin' on a beer in a blind

                           Fadd9
Or watchin' God paint the sky when the day is done

G                                  Am7
 Hell with all that gold, it don't shine

                                  Fadd9
Like the morning sun through them pines

                           Fadd9                      G
You keep that money, buddy, I'll take the country and run
[Bridge]
             Am7                Fadd9
As fast as I can and never look back

                                Fadd9                   G
Quit all that chasing, ain't no changing me, it's who I am

Am7         Fadd9     Fadd9
 It's who I am
[Chorus]
G                          Am7                 Fadd9
 I've seen the lights of L.A. from a penthouse suite

                          Fadd9                    G
I've drank the finest champagne at thirty thousand feet

                        Am7                              Fadd9
I've worn a house on my wrist, got all these names in my phone

                       Fadd9
But everything on that list ain't got a damn thing on

G                              Am7                          Fadd9
 Pickin' on some Hank around a fire, sippin' on a beer in a blind

                           Fadd9
Or watchin' God paint the sky when the day is done

G                                  Am7
 Hell with all that gold, it don't shine

                                  Fadd9
Like the morning sun through them pines

                           Fadd9                      G
You keep that money, buddy, I'll take the country and run
