(Am)Sittin' on the (C)toolbox in this (Am)short bed Chevro-(C)let
I (Am)come out here to the (C)county line when I (F)need some time to (C)think
And (Am)lately I've been (C)thinking' 'bout a (Am)boy I used to (C)know
He was (Am)taken from (C)this world at twenty one (F) years (C)old

(Pre-Chorus)
When I (G)look up at that photograph, see the (Dm)smile there on his face
Well (G)man, it sure is hard to grasp, but I (Dm)know he's (Em)in a better (F)place

(Chorus)
'Cause (F)God's got a (C)spot in heaven for (G)good ol' boys like (C)us
Yeah, (F)He knows wings just (C)ain't our thing, so up (G)there they drive (C)pick up trucks
And (Am)as we speak they're (G)probably spinning (F)tires and (G)slinging (C)mud
Yeah, (Dm)God's (Em)got a (F)place, yeah, (Am)God's (G)got a (F)place --- for good ol' boys like (C)us ---

You (Am)ever get the (C)feelin' that (Am)they still hang a-(C)round
Yeah, (Am)you can almost (C)feel them, though their (F)no where to be (C)found
Some (Am)people tell me "(C)Son, (Am)it's all in (C)your head"
But (Am)I say, "Hey, (C)it's just their way of watching (F)over us my (C) friend"

(Pre-Chorus)
Well (G)life goes on when we lose someone,'cause (Dm)it ain't our time yet
But (G)country folks just ain't the kind of (Dm)people (Em)to for-(F)get
