Intro - A-D - A - D - E - A 
 
 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
A      E         D         A 
I grew up under normal conditions, 
             E      D             E 
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television, 
A               E         D              E 
 They both were doin the best that they could, 
       A          E          D          A 
Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood, 
 
 
 
(Break - A-D - A - D - E - A) 
 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
A          E            D             A 
I did my time in the public school system, 
            E            D           E 
I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom, 
A                 E              D           E 
 Can't blame my teachers, for anything they did, 
     A                 E        D   A 
You can't teach one on one with 33 kids, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
          A      E        D     A 
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright, 
              E              D       A 
I work every day to get to Saturday Night, 
          A      E                D     A 
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin  ok, 
           E           D     A 
Livin and Dyin the American way, 
 
 
 
 
(verse 3) 
well I found the one, we put some rooms down, 
Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town, 
Now we BBQ every Fourth of July, 
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky, 
 
 
(chorus) 
          A      E        D     A 
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright, 
              E              D       A 
I work every day to get to Saturday Night, 
          A      E                D     A 
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin  ok, 
           E           D     A

(bridge) 
F#m                             E 
These days we're thinkin about kids of our own, 
D                       E 
 Gonna turn this house into a home, 
A                               E 
In no time at all they'll be singin along,
