[Intro]
G D G D
[Verse 1]
G D G D Well, I work for the city in the town where I grew up G D Bm G Some days I run a backhoe, some days I run a dump D G D If I had other plans on my graduation day G D Bm G Several years ago, I guess I hauled 'em all away D Yeah, I hauled 'em all away
[Verse 2]
G D G D She told me she was pregnant on the day I turned eighteen G D Bm G I did what you're supposed to do, I bought her a ring D G D He didn't have to ask us, but he asked us anyway G D Bm G We stood up, said, "I do", what else were we gonna say? D What else were we gonna say?
[Chorus]
A G D Well, I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I don't A G D And I got dreams that will come true, I got some that won't A G D Most the time I just walk the line, wherever it goes A G D G D G D 'Cause you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope
[Verse 3]
G D G D My boss man is the mayor, I do just what he asks G D Bm G Mow the courthouse lawn, watch the prisoners walkin' past D G D I'm happy to be working instead of wearin' chains G D Bm G Like my cousin William, he's locked up in LaGrange D He's locked up in LaGrange
[Chorus]
A G D 'Cause I'm thankful for the things I have and all the things I don't A G D And I got dreams that will come true, I got some that won't A G D Most the time I just walk the line, wherever it goes A G D 'Cause you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope

G D G D There's a tavern down the highway, go to drink some beer G D Bm G Wash down all I'm missin', hangin' 'round here D G D And drive back to the trailer and make up with my wife G D Bm G And kiss my sleepin' children, and I get on with my life
[Outro]
G Yeah, I get on with my life D Yeah, I get on with my life
