Intro.:  |(G) |(Em) |(G) |(Em)

If I were (G)down to my last dollar, sittin' (Em)on an empty tank
I'd (G)be a dollar richer than I (Em)was back-in-the-day
When I was (D)playin' for tips and compliments
And half my rent was always spent on (G)beer

Had a (G)thousand dollar stereo in a (Em)two hundred dollar truck
A screw-(G)driver and some cussin' always made her (Em/G)start right up
But I (D)tore it up one rainy night, goin' round a curve when I hit second gear (G) (Em)
And I'm just proud to be (G)here

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G)I'm just proud to be on the (C)right side of the dirt
I've been (G)loved and I've been lost and I've been (C)hurt
I leave the (G)hard stuff up to God, try not to (C)worry 'bout a whole lot
And (G)I have no regrets for what it's worth (C)
I've been (G)livin' on borrowed time for (D)years and I'm just proud to be (G) here (Em)

I'd like to (G)thank my guardian angels, God (Em)must have sent His best
Heaven (G)knows they worked their wings off keepin' (Em/G)whiskey off my breath
When I (D)think of all I would have missed, my wife and kids and all that I hold (G) dear

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G)I'm just proud to be on the (C)right side of the dirt
I've been (G)loved and I've been lost and I've been (C)hurt
I leave the (G)hard stuff up to God, try not to (C)worry 'bout a whole lot
And (G)I have no regrets for what it's worth (C)
I've been (G)livin' on borrowed time for (D)years and I'm just proud to be (G) here
