Chords

As recorded by Ron Pope (From the 2025 Album AMERICAN MAN, AMERICAN MUSIC) Tune down 1/2 step [Intro] G D G [Verse 1]
G
Southern dream, brown skinned doll

                               D
I met her on the beach down in Panama

G
Said "Look me up if you get back home

G
It'd be a crying shame for us to sleep alone."
[Chorus]
G                                                 D              G
Now I'm 27 miles outside of Augusta at a bar that doesn't have a name

G
Singing "Sweet Home Alabama" for the one paying customer

               D                 G
Drinking til I couldn't spell my name

G
There's a pretty little girl waiting for me down in Macon

                       D                  G
But it's safe to say I probably shouldn't drive

G
I've had a damn good ride, all I've really learned from living is

G
Nobody's gonna make it out alive
[Interlude] G D D [Verse 2]
G
I'm out of gas and out of time

                     D
Maybe I'll head home for a couple nights

G
Sleep on the coach at an ex-girlfriend's house

G
Then hit the highway and keep heading South
[Chorus]
G                                                 D              G

G
I've had a damn good ride, all I've really learned from living is

G
Nobody's gonna make it out alive
[Interlude] G D D [Verse 3]
G
She showed up and brought a friend

                           D
He's not her boyfriend but don't tell him

G
Now I ain't a chicken but I don't wanna be fried

                      D          G
I sent em both a cold beer and I left with a smile
[Chorus]
G                                                 D              G

               D                 G

                       D                  G

G
I've had a damn good ride, all I've really learned from living is

G
Nobody's gonna make it out alive

G
Yeah, nobody's gonna make it out alive
