G
I moved to Nashville back in ‘91
Em
I was hopin for heaven but I met the Devil’s son
D
David Allan Coe was right ‘bout a long hard ride
CD
Hell you ought to see the little red truck I drive
G
Well I refused to be something I’m not
Em
So I didn’t make the Music City News a lot
D
But I don’t give a damn about that now
CD
Cause some people like the way I sound
Chorus:
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood
CDG
and Things are fixin to get real good
I made a lot of good friends they came from all around
Em
We chased women and dreams while searching for a sound
D
But we sank right down the musical tubes
CD
Getting lost in the crowd and drinkin’ too much booze
G
Lord knows I done a lot of things wrong
Em
But I wrote em all down in my country songs
D
Sometimes you gotta go to hell and back
CD
Just to know where you’re at
Chorus:
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood
CDG
and Things are fixin to get real good
Repeat ChorusGEmD
Yeah I’ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
CDG
And things are fixin’ to get real good
Yeah they are
D
I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
CDG
Things are fixin’ to get real good
