           G#
Sometimes I'm mad at the world,  Mad at this town
D#m
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
        D#m
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#
My red guitar I bang around on some
D#m C# F#  C#      G#
And  I love lovin' you
D#m C# F#  C#       G#
Baby, I love lovin' you.

Now heaven to me it's a simple thing
It's just you and me
And a phone that don't ring
Popcorn popping on a lay around Friday night

Seeing you smile when I wake up
The way you slide to the middle of my pickup truck
The way you say baby, it's all going to be all right
When I walk in at the end of a worn out day
And I see you baby, how can I complain

Chorus

Yes, I do

Well, I love where I've been
I don't look back
I thank God for the life he lets me have
My big wool blanket
Sleeping in my cowboy boots
I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run
My red guitar I bang around on some
And I love loving you
Baby, I love loving you

Baby, I love
Oh yes I do
Love loving you

I love my old bird dog
I like to watch him run

Loving you
