Intro:   D9 C 
 
D9                     C 
He works way too much for way too little 
D9                        C                          
He drinks way too early till way too late 
G         F                 C 
He hasn't had a raise since New Years Day 
                     G              F 
In eighty-eight gets trampled on by everyone 
      C 
Except when he comes in here 
G            F              C              
And he's the product of the Haggard generation 
G           F                    C          
He's got a redneck side when you get him agitated 
G          F                       C 
He got the gold toothed look from a stiff right hook 
                          G                    F 
He's proud he took for his right wing stand on Vietnam 
        C 
Says he lost his brother there 
 
(pre chorus) 
Bb 
He yells out Johnny Cash 
C 
And the band starts to play 
Bb 
A ring of fire as he walks up 
C                D 
And stands there by the stage 
 
And he says 


G             F             C 
Hell yeah!    Turn it up!   Right on! 
G             F             C 
Hell yeah!    Sounds good!  Sing that song! 
G                  F 
Guitar man playin' all night long 
C 
Take me back to where the music hit me 
                            G    F  C      G  F  C 
Life was good and love was easy  
 
She's got an MBA and a plush corner office 

She's got a don't mess with me attitude 

She'll close a deal she don't reveal that she can feel 

The loneliness the emptiness 

Except when she comes in here 

She's the product of the "Me" generation 

She's got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated 

She got the tattoo there on her derriere from a spring break dare  

In Panama where love was all she thought she'd ever need 
 
She yells out to the band 

Know any Bruce Springsteen 

Then she jumps up on the bar 

And she, and she starts to scream 

She says 
 
(chorus) 
 
(bridge) 
D 
Yeah, yeah 
                        C                        D 
Can or can't you get my mind off thinkin' 'bout 
 
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 
 
Hey, hell yeah

G          F            C 
Hell yeah, sounds good, sing that song 
G                  F 
Guitar man playin' all night long 
C 
Take me back where the music hit me 
 
When life was good...
