Verse 1:

    FF
Well, I never been to the Great Divide

  G minorGm
But my journey started when I was just five

 Bb majorBb              FF
I don't know why, I don't know why

       FF
Somehow I've been to places I've never been

   G minorGm
And I lived through things I don't understand

   Bb majorBb               FF
And I know things I'm not supposed to know

    G minorGm
But I'm fine with it

      Bb majorBb
I just get on with it

       FF
'Cause I can't change it

Verse 2:

     FF
They say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old

  G minorGm
But I've got a story that's yet been told

    Bb majorBb             FF
So I'm telling it while I'm living it

       FF
See, it's the boys from the past that blazed my path

G minorGm
Waylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest

     Bb majorBb                FF
It's their blood and sweat that turned this dirt red

I just get on with it

'Cause I can't change it

Grab yourself a chair"
