It ain't 'cause of my truck

It ain't 'cause of some George Strait song

Just a beer away from a best friend

It's a bit of my grandpa

Why I gotta watch the sunrise?

Oh, and it's all I've ever known
 
[Chorus]
G
Why I gotta watch the sunrise?
Cadd9
Job ain't ever done till it's done right
Em7 D
And I got acres of reasons why
Cadd9
It's who I'll be till the day I die
G
Why I still be saying 'Amen'
Cadd9
Just a beer away from a best friend
Em7 D
Why I gotta toss a line when I see a lake
Cadd9 G/B
And why I'm always praying for rain
Am7 G/B C
Yeah, ask me why you are the way you are

And why I'm always thanking all my lucky stars
