F G C
[Verse 1]
C Broken down outside Bakersfield G Man it started to snow. C Sleepin' sittin' up in the front seat G Cold wind, it blows. C G Well now, people if you fear for your mortal souls F G C Get a job workin' at the grocery store.
[Chorus]
F C 'Cause, this life, it ain't right for everybody. F G Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy. F C This life, it ain't right for everybody, G C F G C But it sure's been good to me.
[Verse 2]
C Drivin' thirty-five miles an hour G 'Cross that Texas heat, C Engine burnin' like the fires of Hell G Just to melt the shoes of my feet. C Three mechanics in a hundred miles G And nothin's wrong. F G C Didn't get nothing' outta that trip but another song.
[Chorus]
F C Well, this life, it ain't right for everybody. F G Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy. F C This life, it ain't right for everybody, G C But it sure's been good to me.

[Bridge]
C Yes, I been up in the apple trees, G# I been down in the ditches on my bended knees. D7 "May I help you, sir? G What do ya need?" C Been 'round a corner or two, G# Sold everything but my clothes and shoes. D7 G Did a thousand jobs that I never wanted to do.
I ain't settlin' down here,
F
I'm just passin' through.[Chorus]
F C This life, it ain't right for everybody. F G Everbody'd do it now, if it was easy. F C This life, it ain't right for everybody, G C But it sure's been good to me.
[Outro]
G F Sure been good to, sure been good to, D G C sure been good to me-ee
