Am  G/B  C  C/E  F 



        Am       G/B 
It was pack the trunk

It was make the drive 
        F 
It was leave that little town behind 
 Am    G/B        C       C/E     F 
Damn if I didn't leave it in the dust 

G       Am      G/B 
It was play the game 
C               C/E 
It was play the show 
        F 
It was get a song on the radio 

  Am     G/B       C          C/E     F 
I did it all, but damn, still ain't enough 

     G           Am       C 
But what do you know? My daddy was right 
        C/E     F 
Said, "When it comes to what you want in this life 

       Am           G/B        C 
It's okay to have a good long list 
C/E          F                       G 
Long as the top looks a little like this" 



     C      G/B            Am 
Put family first but still put the work in 
 F                      G 
Live them words in the Sunday sermon 
 C    G/B        Am 
See a half-full glass of bourbon 
     F                    G 
And make time to go back home

Do what you love, love what you're doin' 
        F                G 
If you say "I do," hell don't undo it 
 C         G/B          Am 
Half good friend, even better human 
 F                    G 
Written on that headstone 

     F                         G 
Good Lord knows I ain't there yet 

N.C.                        Am  G/B 
But damn if that ain't the goal 
  C            C/E       F 
(Damn if that ain't the goal) 



         Am    G/B      C            C/E 
It took waking up in a quarter-life crisis 
F 
To figure out what the point of life is 
Am        G/B          C      C/E     F 
It ain't puttin' more notches on the belt 

           G       Am       G/B    C 
I'm still chasing down some new horizons 
 C/E     F 
Nothin' wrong with left foot driving 

         Am            G/B         C       C/E   F 
But the best things in life don't shine up on a shelf 
                    G 
So if I do nothing else
