        G
Well I hit that hit song lottery
    C
In-laws are finally proud of me
     G
And after taxes I'm probably
     D
The richest guy I know
       G
Got a pair of jetskis in my yacht
      C
Paid off my trailer, hell I could buy the park
     G
But guess what y'all, life's still hard
    D
As far as living goes

            C
Yeah I'm a little bit higher up on that
            A
Nashville ladder
     C                                     D
But money didn't fix anything that really matters

Chorus:
    C
My haters still say I can't sing
        G
And my marriage still needs counseling
        D
And my sons don't know how not to fight
 Em
Daughter's shorts are too short and too tight
    C
And if I'm drinking honestly
 G
Still can't drink responsibly
     D
I'm six string American dream
    Em
But I still wake up sad
   C
I still need Jesus
    A        D       G
And I still miss my dad

Work's still the wheel and I'm still the hamster
Still got prayers that God ain't answered
Uncle Bill still got cancer
But we're still on our knees
I'm still on empty at the filling station
Trying to cope with Copenhagen
Thank God I'm safe 'cause my life savings
Can't save me from me

I got a zero-turn John Deere that'll
cut the grass faster
I guess money can't fix anything
that really matters

Chorus

So bad

 G        C      G      D
Wooh ooh ooooh oohhh alright
               G
So maybe this song's a big ol' hit
       C
Maybe radio don't ever even touch it
           G
Guess the point of it is whatever you're doing
       D
Better do it 'cause you love it

Chorus

             C
See y'all I still need Jesus
    A        D       G
And I still miss my dad
