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
         C         /                  D 	 /
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
           C         /            D 	 /
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 
 	 C                   D        G
and Things are fixin to get real good

SOLO: G 	 / 	 /Em 	 / 	 /D 	 / 	 / 	 C 	 / 	 D 	 /
G
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
 	  	 C 	  	  	  	   D
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
 	 C 	  	  	  	 D
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 
 	 C         /          D   /    (pause) 	   G
and Things are fixin to get real good


SOLO: G 	 / 	 /Em 	 / 	 /D 	 / 	 / 	 C 	 / 	 D 	 /

Repeat Chorus

G 	 / 	 / 	 Em 	 / 	 /
D 	  	  	 
Yeah I’ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
C 	  	  	  	  	  D 	  	  G
And things are fixin’ to get real good

Yeah they are
D
I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
C 	  	  	  	   D 	  	   G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
