   A#
Lately things are on my mind
                        F
Good news is hard to find
   A#
And I work on the factory line
                         F  C
And all I do is stay behind

Call my mama like I should
She says daddy ain't doing too good
Me and him should wet a line
Just can't seem to find the time

Chorus:
       A#   C  F
But I love my life
          A#   C         F
Man it's something to see
          A#           F                C
It's the kids and the dogs and you and me
          A#      C   F
It's the way it's alright
      A#    C     Dm
Everything goes wrong
        A#          C          A#
It's a sound of a slow simple song

Finally saved some money up
'Til I had to fix my truck
Talked to brother the other day
He didn't have too much to say

Tryna quit these cigarettes
I can't seem to kick em yet
Sister got laid off last fall
And I got high cholesterol

Chorus - x2
