Verse 
       E 
Well I never been 

To the Great Divide 
   F#m 
My journey started when I was just five 
      A                            E 
And I don't know why, I don't know why 

Verse 

Somehow I've been to places I've never been 

And I lived through things I don't understand 

An I know things I'm not supposed to know 


        F#m 
But I'm fine with it 
           A 
I just get on with it 
              E 
Cause I can't change it  

Verse 

They say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old 

But I've got a story that's yet to've been told 

So I'm telling it while I'm living it 

Verse 

It's the boys from the past that blaze my path 

Waylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest 

It's their blood and sweat that made this dirt red 

Chorus 

But I'm fine with it 

I just get on with it 

Cause I can't change it 

Bridge 


    A     
The day the red dirt blew through Texas 
                                    E                C#m 
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders 
       E 
Like a long lost friend 
        F#m                         
I said "Hello Boys, I'm glad you're here 
            A                                  E 
But there's work to be done so grab yourself a chair" 

Bridge 

The day the red dirt blew through Texas 

The voices of a thousand exes sang out to me in harmonies 

Like I never heard before 

I said "Hello girls, I'm glad you're here 

But there's work to be done could you bring us one more beer" 

Verse 

So Mike and Cody, I'm calling on you 

Fifty Dollar Blue and Stoney, you too 

Wade's got his getaway yeah and I've got mine 

Verse 

We gotta keep it true 

We gotta see it through 

We're gonna carry this torch it'll get us through 

Oh and Jason says we gotta do what we gotta do 

Chorus 

But I'm fine with it 

I just get on with it 

Cause I can't change it 

Bridge 

The day the red dirt blew through Texas 

The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders 

Like a long lost friend 

I said "Hello Boys, I'm glad you're here 

But there's work to be done so grab yourself a chair" 

Bridge 

The day the red dirt blew through Texas 

The voices of a thousand exes sang out to me in harmonies 

Like I never heard before 

I said "Hello girls, I'm glad you're here 

But there's work to be done could you bring us one more 

Beer.
