IntroDD/C#Em7AVerse 1DD/C#Em7A
Sittin' on the front porch on a Sunday afternoon
G/AD/F#EmA
Just me and a buddy who I've known for a few years
DD/C#
We figured since the weather's nice
Em7A
We might as well soak up the sights
G/AD/F#EmA
Of Nashville with no suits and ties around
ChorusGA
Conversation covers everything and in between
DD/C#Em7A
From grandpa's health to marrying good girls
GA
Oh, we ain't up to nothing
GAD
Just solving all the problems of the world
D/C#Em7AVerse 2DD/C#
We joke and laugh at the present and past
Em7A
How some things do and some don't last
G/AD/F#EmA
Like friends you make 'round here sometimes somehow just disappear
DD/C#
Oh, it's funny to the two of us
Em7A
The folks back home make such a fuss
G/AD/F#Em
About the way we're livin' day to day
A
And guitars pickin'
ChorusGA
The conversation covers everything and in between
DD/C#Em7A
From modern music to "Mama Tried" by Merle
GA
Oh, we ain't up to nothing
GAG
Just solving all the problems of the world
BridgeD/F#EmD/F#
As they come and go like us wannabes on music row
GD/F#EmA
We're made to just burn out the way a star is made to glow
Verse 3DD/C#
We light us one last cigarette
Em7A
Make plans to do what we ain't done yet
G/AD/F#EmA
He wants to buy a Jeep, I'd like to make it through next week
DD/C#Em7A
If I do and he does too I bet we'll do it all again
G/AD/F#EmA
Shoot the bull about what's new on another Sunday afternoon
ChorusGA
Where the conversation covers everything and in between
DD/C#Em7A
From life is good to giving it a whirl
GA
Oh, we ain't up to nothing
GAG
Just solving all the problems of the world
