Verse 1:
                       F#
I asked God for a good job
               Bm
He put me on a plane
               A
He put me on a plane
                         F#
All of the people that I love
                    Bm
The people that I'm from
          D          E            A

Chorus 1:
                           Bm
I'm off, I'm packin' dirty clothes
               F#
Sleepin' in my coat
            A (bar chord)
Eatin' in a car
            Dm (bar chord)
Livin' in a bar
   A         C              E
Oh goodness, ain't that the way?

Verse 2:
I asked God for a, a good man
But I forgot to say
I wanna see him every day
I tried to remember that goose poop on
Even if it's swingin', oh
It's never fast as you ho-o-o-hoooope

Chorus 2:
The neighbor baby in the sun
Gettin' dirty in the mud
The washin' on a wire
Potatoes in a tire?
Oh goodness, ain't that the way?

Instrumental verse

Chorus 3:
If you got honey in the cup
Liqueur in the mug
Water on the stove
Sugar on the phone
Oh goodness, ain't that the way?
Ain't that the way?
Ain't that the way?

Bridge/outro
               A
You're on your own
You're on your way home
                    F#
New racuter? on the radio
You're cookin' for one
                E
Here watching a home video
And here in the distance
            A
Here in the miss you
Fonder and fonder I go
