D 
I swear I gave up drinkin 
    G 
Sometimes I have no choice 
          D 
After singin hard six nights straight 
          A 
A little sip sure helps my voice 
           D                         
Don?t get me wrong, I love these songs 
          G 
And I know I got it made 
         D 
Sometimes my mind starts driftin? 
           A               D 
When I?m up here on the stage 
 
 
D 
To that last half mile of dirt road  
          G 
And that oak tree on the hill 
         D 
To them dogs out barkin in the yard  
         A 
And that tractor in the field 
        D 
To them kids up on the front porch screamin? 
G 
Mama daddy?s home

        D 
There?s so much lrft to talk about  
    A 
And I?ve been gone so long 
   D 
So put them kids on one more time 
G 
Before they go to sleep 
           D 
And baby, know no matter where I go
