C                                 G
  Just flowin' with the changes,    till the sun comes out again

  Singing in a honky tonk cafe,

D
  Nobodys hearin' what you play, yeah

C
  They're too busy drinkin anyway,

  You gotta keep on smilin', brother keep on smilin'

           G
  Say you     found a piece of land

D
  Gonna change from city boy to country man, yeah
