Key: B
Introduction: A G D Dm
A G D A
Well I'm not one to whine or cry, or wallow in self-pity
A G D A
I take life in stride, and smell the roses when I can
A G D A
and I am one of those lucky guys who's happy just to be here
A G D A
Doin what I love, and thankful that I am
F#m D
With all of life's temptation's this dream that I've been
chasin,
A E F#m
it's a wonder I aint long since dead and gone
D A F#m
I've cheated undertakers, I've dang near met my maker,
B7 D E A
I'm tell y'all, I'm lucky to be here at all
A G D A
My heart hit the cigarettes, and straight Kentucky Bourbon
A G D A
Takin' their toll, and doin their best to do me in
A G D A
Guitars and beer joint bars up and down the highway
A G D A
If I could start all over, I'd do it all again
Chorus
C#m D
And when I die I'll thank the good Lord face to face
C E
For his patience and grace
Chorus
