(A)Well I know sometimes you find it hard 
 
To (D)understand just what we do out (A)here 
 
F#m Well that bus rolls up at home 
 
And I just disapp(E)ear 
 
(D)And I sure don't like to leave you 
 
Couldn't stand for you to think that I (A)don't care 
 
(D)So I wrote this job description  
 
Just to (E)tell you what I do when I'm not (A)there 
 
I sleep (D)eighty miles an hour  
 
To the whining of a diesel down the (A)interstate 
 
(D)Dreamin' 'bout my little girls 
 
The easy chair that sits beside the (E)fireplace 
 
(A)Then we shut her down in another town 
 
(D)Shower up and do just what we (A)came to do (A E) F#m 
 
(D)Sing for the people 
 
Count the (E)money and the miles back home to (A)you 
 
(A)Well each night I take the stage 
 
With a (D)six piece band and a guitar in my (A)hand 
 
F#m)Singin' songs about my life  
 
All the good times and the Ebad 
 
(D)Then we say goodbye and we load it up 
 
And head somewhere I've already (A)been 
 
(D)Then I lay down in that double bed (E)alone  
 
And I thank the Lord (A)again
