[Verse 1]
Cadd9
G     Cadd9               G         Cadd9               G
 Well I    work for the city in the town where I grew up
Cadd9                 G  G/F#    Em7                 Cadd9
Some days I run a backhoe    some   days I run a dump
                    G      Cadd9         G
If I had other plans on my graduation day
Cadd9                      G  G/F#    Em7                Cadd9
     Then several years ago I guess I hauled 'em all away
                          G
Yeah I hauled 'em all away

[Verse 2]
    Cadd9               G              Cadd9           G
She told me she was pregnant on the day     I turned 18
Cadd9              G
I    did what your supposed to do.
G/F# Em7                 Cadd9
     I  bought her a ring
                     G
He didn't have to ask us,
            Cadd9         G
but he asked     us anyway
Cadd9             G
We   stood up and said,
   G/F#          Em7                  Cadd9
"I do." what else   were we gonna say?
                            G
What else were we gonna say?

[Chorus]
         D
Well I'm thankful for the things I have
    Em7/A                  Cadd9
And all  the things I don't
    D
And I've got dreams that will come true
    Em7/A                   Cadd9
And I've got some that won't
D                                 Em7/A                Cadd9
Most the time I just walk the line     wherever it goes
     G             Em7/A            Cadd9
'Cuz you can't hang     yourself if you  ain't got enough
rope

[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G      Cadd9             G
         My boss    man is the Mayor.
  Cadd9                 G
I do   just what he asks
  Cadd9               G
I mow  the courthouse lawn,
G/F#         Em7                Cadd9
watch the prisoners walkin' past
                    G
I'm happy to be working,
  Cadd9                  G
instead of wearin' chains
     Cadd9
Like my   cousin Willy,
G G/F#           Em7               Cadd9
      he's locked   up in La Grange
                           G
He's locked up in La Grange

[Chorus]
        D
But I'm thankful for the things I have
    Em7/A                  Cadd9
And all  the things I don't
    D
And I've got dreams that will come true
    Em7/A                   Cadd9
And I've got some that won't
D                                 Em7/A                Cadd9
Most the time I just walk the line     wherever it goes
     G             Em7/A            Cadd9
'Cuz you can't hang     yourself if you  ain't got enough
rope

[Verse 4]
          Cadd9               G
There's a tavern down the highway,
  Cadd9                   G
I go   to drink some beers
    Cadd9                 G  G/F#   Em7                Cadd9
And wash down all I'm missin'    by hangin' around here
                              G
Then I drive back to the trailer;
     Cadd9              G
I'll makeup with my wife
  Cadd9                 G
I kiss my sleeping children,
G/F#      Em7                Cadd9
    and I get on with my life
Yeah I get on with my life
