[Intro]

[Verse 1]
 
D               D/F#      G      D D/F# G
I got a job and my name's Joe
D                    D/F#  G      D
Spend my days at the Texaco
D/F#  G        D    D/F#  G       D     D/F#
Never show up late, never show up drunk
G               D                  D/F#   G      D
Because when I get half lit I'm a loaded gun
D/F#       G      D            D/F# G     D      D/F#
Made a couple wrong turns, did county time
G    D                        D/F#        G      D D/F# G
I do everything I can to stay between the lines
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G
I got a couple good buddies that all drop in
          D
Say "it's good to see you brother man how ya been?"
 G
"I can't complain, I'm doin' alright,
A
Sleeping pretty good, stayin' dry
          G
Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen
        D                   Bm
For how far I've come, from where I've been
             G
So here's to good days and better tomorrows
            A                  D
And a light, at the end of the bottle"

[Verse 2]
 
     D                     D/F#    G      D D/F# G
Some battles are fought on foreign shores
D               D/F#       G      D
Some are fought behind closed doors
D/F#  G        D      D/F#  G         D        D/F# G
Some fall from grace, some lose their wings
     D                 D/F#   G      D D/F# G
Some find the peace salvation brings
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G
I got a couple good buddies that all stop in
          D
Say "it's good to see you brother man how ya been?"
 G
"I can't complain, I'm doin' alright,
A
Sleeping pretty good, stayin' dry
          G
Thank the Lord every mornin' with a sweet Amen
        D                   Bm
For how far I've come, from where I've been
             G
So here's to good days and better tomorrows
            A                  D
And a light, at the end of the bottle"

[Bridge]
 
          G                        A
Here's to good days, and here's to livin'
              Bm                A
And here's to old sins being forgiven
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      G
And a bunch of good buddies that all drop in
          D
Say "it's good to see you brother man how ya been?"
