G                 D                  C
Seems like everything that's good in life
           G
you gotta wait for
G                   D            C             D
A cane pole bobber dancin’ on a lake in Tennessee
               G                  D
And it's like sitting there real early
         C               G
just to watch a morning sunrise
G               D              C
All I know is what it does to me

Chorus:
            D
It's like Friday night workin' on a 3 day weekend
Em                        C
Something in a jar just made for sippin'
D
It's feelin' like a feel good time-bomb tickin'
Em                         C
Standin' round waitin' on beer can chicken
          Cm
It's the little things that make life worth livin'

That old jam box playing in the background
takes me somewhere
Back to some old late night country highway radio
I've got all my friends hanging out, sitting
right here with me
When I get this old feeling I just know

Chorus

Would you look at this night that we've been given
It's the little things that make life worth living
Would you look at this night that we've been given
It makes life worth living

Chorus

        G F C      G F C
Turn it up, let's go
Pretty girl dancing barefoot by the sea shore
Dirt track, turn to four
Pedal to the metal, gonna show you what we're
here for
Six strings, good songs
Old wooden bowl with a skull and crossbones
Full moon, that's right
Green grass, good luck, just waiting on half time
And beer can chicken
Just look at this life that we've been given
