D E A E
A
Well I know sometimes you find it hard
D A
To understand just what we do out here
F#m
Well that bus rolls up at home
E
And I just disappear
D
And I sure don't like to leave you
A
Couldn't stand for you to think that I don't care
D
So I wrote this job description
E A
Just to tell you what I do when I'm not there
D
I sleep eighty miles an hour
A
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
D
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
E
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
A
Then we shut her down in another town
D A A-E F#m
Shower up and do just what we came to do
D
Sing for the people
E A E
Count the money and the miles back home to you
BRIDGE
A D A F#m E D A F#m D E A
A
Well each night I take the stage
D A
With a six piece band and a guitar in my hand
F#m
Singin' songs about my life
E
All the good times and the bad
D
Then we say goodbye and we load it up
A
And head somewhere I've already been
D E
Then I lay down in that double bed alone
A
And I thank the Lord again
REPEAT Chorus
TAG
D
Well I just sing for the people
E A
Count the money and the miles back home to you
