D  A  Bm  G  D  A  G


D    A                  Bm          G
This sure ain’t where I thought I'd be
D        A                 G
If you’d asked me way back when
D     A                 Bm    G
Still single, drunk and Forty Three
D                  A              G
In the same little town I grew up in

Sometimes the dreams you have when you are young
I guess they just decide to remain dreams
I ain’t too proud of the person that I ain’t become
But in here ain’t nobody judging me

A

Chorus:
D                A
Don’t think that all you’ve found
       Bm             G
Is the local drunk of this little town
        D                   A
I still pull my weight from 8 to 5
        Bm                      G
I ain’t missed a day work since I been alive
D                      A
I know I spend a lotta time in this bar
         F#m           G
But it’s where my only real friends are
       G                                 A
People talk behind my back and I hear em run me down
                G                   A                    D
Say I’m nothing more than the local drunk of this little town


I keep thinking maybe one of these days
Coming through them doors to change my life
Will be some woman though I don’t yet know her name
But I wait for her in here every night

Chorus

Now I know that I ain’t alone
Lot of wishful drinkers out there like me
Bellied up to the little bars that they call home
In the little towns they’ll never leave

Chorus
