Songwriters: John Wiggins, Clay Mills
I had a little trouble with the bridge, so if you have
a better idea, please let me know.
Now I [D]know how [A]Merle [Bm]Haggard [G]felt
when he [D]sang the words [A]mama [Bm]tried[G]
And I've [D]lived those [A]teenage [Bm]Friday [G]nights
With a [D]pyramid of [A]cans in the [Bm]pale [G]moonlight
And that[D] summer [A]Becky [Bm]broke my [G]heart
[D]Alabama sang [A]old flame [Bm]burnin' [G]
Well I've danced with George Strait
[A]Drank with George Jones
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song
Chorus
It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm] Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song
Now I [D]know how [A]Paycheck [Bm]felt
When he [G]told his [D]boss he can take his [A]job and [Bm]shove it[G]
And I've [D]had the [A]girl that [Bm]made me [G]say
'I [D]like it, I [A]love it, I [Bm]want some more [G]of it'
And I'll[D] [A]always [Bm]remember just [G]where I [D]was
When the [A]world stopped [Bm]turnin'[G]
Through the good and the bad,
The [A]right and the wrong
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song
It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm] Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song
Bridge
[A]It's been the [G]words when I [D/F#]couldn't find [A]'em
[A]A [G]friend when I've [D/F#]been [A]alone
[A]It's been the [G]toast to [D/F#]things [A]remembered, the [E]strength for movin on
It's all about [Bm]fallin' down and [G]gettin' back up
[D]Your good times and [A]hard luck
[Bm]True love and [G]amazing grace
[D]Workin' all week for a [A]back ache
[Bm] Raisin' cane, [G]Friday nights,
[D]Sunday church to [A]set it right
They can [G]write it [A]on my [Bm]stone,
My [G]life's been a [A]country [D]song
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
Oh my [G]life's been [A]a country [D]song
