Now I know how Merle Haggard felt
D A Bm G
when he sang the words mama tried
D A Bm G
And I've lived those teenage Friday nights
D A Bm G
With a pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
D A Bm G
And that summer Becky broke my heart
D A Bm G
Alabama sang old flame burnin'
Well I've danced with George Strait
A
Drank with George Jones
G A D
My life's been a country song
Bm G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm G
True love and amazing grace
D A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm G
Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D A
Sunday church to set it right
G A Bm
They can write it on my stone,
G A D
My life's been a country song
D A Bm
Now I know how Paycheck felt
G D A Bm G
When he told his boss he can take his job and shove it
D A Bm G
And I've had the girl that made me say
D A Bm G
'I like it, I love it, I want some more of it'
D A Bm G D
And I'll always remember just where I was
A Bm G
When the world stopped turnin'
Through the good and the bad,
A
The right and the wrong
G A D
My life's been a country song
Bm G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm G
True love and amazing grace
D A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm G
Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D A
Sunday church to set it right
G A Bm
They can write it on my stone,
G A D
My life's been a country song
Bridge:
A G D/F# A
It's been the words when I couldn't find 'em
A G D/F# A
A friend when I've been alone
A G D/F# A E
It's been the toast to things remembered, the strength for movin on
Bm G
It's all about fallin' down and gettin' back up
D A
Your good times and hard luck
Bm G
True love and amazing grace
D A
Workin' all week for a back ache
Bm G
Raisin' cane, Friday nights,
D A
Sunday church to set it right
G A Bm
They can write it on my stone,
G A D
My life's been a country song
Bm G D A
G A D
Oh my life's been a country song
