Intro: (G  Dm  C  G) 2X 

Verse 1
G
Sometimes I'm mad at the world,  Mad at this town 
Dm                                                        
Mad 'cause I can't lose the same five pounds 
C
That I've been trying' to lose 
                   G
for three or four years now. 

 G        
Sometimes I feel like a truck that just won't run 
Dm
On the side of the road in the July sun 
C
There ain't another car for miles
 G          
That I can thumb down. 

G            F
 I guess every now and then 
C                         G
You're going to land on a bad day 
       F
Though I still do 
C              D
I know I can't complain. 


Chorus:
        G   
Cause I love what I do 

Love where I'm at 
    F          
The stage, my band, and my old black hat 
    C
My big wool blanket 
                 G
Sleepin' in my cowboy boots 
             

           G
I love my old bird dog 

I like to watch him run 

   F                         C
My red guitar I bang around on some 
 
Dm C F C   G      
And  I love lovin' you 
Dm C F C   G      
Baby, I love lovin' you.

Verse
G
 Now heaven to me it's a simple thing 
Dm
It's just you and me 

And a phone that don't ring 
C                                       G 
Popcorn poppin' on a lay around Friday night. 
G
Seein' you smile when I wake up 
Dm
The way you slide to the middle of my pick up truck 
C                                            G
The way you say baby, it's all gonna be all right 
     F                              G       
When I walk in at the end of a worn out day 
 F                    C              D
And I see you baby, how can I complain.

My big wool blanket

Sleepin' in my cowboy boots

I love my old bird dog 

I like to watch him run 
   F                              C
