[Verse]
F C
Someday I might find that I’m the type of guy to,
Dm Bb
Grow up and buy a Mazda.
F C
Move down to Weatherford Texas,
Dm Bb
Sometimes that’s where I wish I was from,
F C Dm Bb
But I ain’t gonna lie, it’s only when I want to try and sound like a cowboy.
F C Dm Bb
Now, I’m the fool because I didn’t find the rulebook I musta oughta,
F C Dm Bb
But I found a map on a thumb drive, and I traced the pixels back to the farm.
F C Bb
I tried to dig a little deeper, but I broke every bolt on the plowshare.
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bless this table, and thank the Lord for all He has laid before us.
F C Dm Bb
Fare thee well, and spread the ashes of those who have been blessed before us.
F C Dm Bb
Thank the children, for tomorrow they must come to afford us.
F C F
All we know.
[Verse 2]
F C
I’ve come to realize that my pockets aren’t sized,
Dm Bb
To carry every rock on the mountain,
F C
But the granite gets to looking so shiny,
Dm Bb
And I get to thinking that I wish I could keep it,
F C Dm Bb
But my pockets are full so I suppose I’ll just keep it right there.
F C
Then I’ll draw a picture when I get home,
Dm Bb
Of all the beauty that I can remember,
F C
Make myself a little exhibit,
Dm Bb
Around a fire in my back yard,
F C Bb
Curl up beside it and dream myself away.
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bless this table, and thank the Lord for all He has laid before us.
F C Dm Bb
Fare thee well, and spread the ashes of those who have been blessed before us.
F C Dm Bb
Thank the children, for tomorrow they must come to afford us.
F C F
All we know.
[Verse 3]
F C
I get the feeling that everybody near me,
Dm Bb
Wants to hear me spell out what I’m thinking,
F C
But if I get to listing my contradictions,
Dm Bb
It would be an album-worthy dictation,
F C Dm Bb
And so I’ll just hide it in metaphors, and I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.
F C
I thought 'em all.
Dm Bb
I wasted-ed 'em all of them and then forgoted them all.
F C
Well, it was worth it.
Dm Bb
Seems like most things are worth it in the end,
F C Bb
Once you find something you like on that side of the fence.
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bless this table, and thank the Lord for all He has laid before us.
F C Dm Bb
Fare thee well, and spread the ashes of those who have been blessed before us.
F C Dm Bb
Thank the children, for tomorrow they must come to afford us.
F C Bb
All we know,
F C F
All we know.
