IntroDDEmAVerse 1DDEmA
Sittin' on the front porch on a Sunday afternoon
GDEmA
Just me and a buddy who I've known for a few years
DD
We figured since the weather's nice
EmA
We might as well soak up the sights
GDEmA
Of Nashville with no suits and ties around
ChorusGA
Conversation covers everything and in between
DDEmA
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
DEmAVerse 2DD
We joke and laugh at the present and past
EmA
How some things do and some don't last
GDEmA
Like friends you make 'round here sometimes somehow just disappear
DD
Oh, it's funny to the two of us
EmA
The folks back home make such a fuss
GDEm
About the way we're livin' day to day
A
And guitars pickin'
ChorusGA
The conversation covers everything and in between
DDEmA
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
BridgeDEmD
As they come and go like us wannabes on music row
GDEmA
We're made to just burn out the way a star is made to glow
Verse 3DD
We light us one last cigarette
EmA
Make plans to do what we ain't done yet
GDEmA
He wants to buy a Jeep, I'd like to make it through next week
DDEmA
If I do and he does too I bet we'll do it all again
GDEmA
Shoot the bull about what's new on another Sunday afternoon
ChorusGA
Where the conversation covers everything and in between
DDEmA
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
