       Bm              G          D
I was five years old, ridinh in granddaddy's truck
Singin’ "Deeper Than the Holler" with the radio up
He'd smile and he'd say, "Boy, keep singin’
that song"
And I bet even he never thought

Chorus:
                 Bm      G        D
I'd be making a dollar, making a music note
Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke
Write a couple songs that somebody might know
Make a dollar, making a music note
Make a dollar, making a music note

Never knew I'd step foot on that old Opry stage
Went from Old Rugged Cross to that church
off Broadway
Standing right where Loretta, Cash,
and Charley all stood
Man, who would have guessed that I would

Chorus:
Be making a dollar, making a music note
Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke
Write a couple songs that somebody might know
Make a dollar, making a music note
Make a dollar, making a music note

         Bm                G
So, this song's a way for me to shake
D
everybody's hand
Thanks for giving this Tennessee boy a chance

Chorus:
At making a dollar, making a music note (Oh)
Playing old guitar and not wind up going flat broke
Write a couple songs that somebody might know
Make a dollar, making a music note
Make a dollar, making a music note

I was five years old riding in granddaddy's truck
Singin' "Deeper Than the Holler" with the radio up
