Sittin' on the toolbox in this short bed Chevrolet
(Am) (C) (F) (C)
I come out here to the county line when I need some time to think
(Am) (C) (Am) (C)
And lately I've been thinking' 'bout a boy I used to know
(Am) (C) (F) (C)
He was taken from this world at twenty one years old

When I look up at that photograph, see the smile there on his face
(G) (Dm) (Em) (F)
Well man, it sure is hard to grasp, but I know he's in a better place

'Cause God's got a spot in heaven for good ol' boys like us
(F) (C) (G) (C)
Yeah, He knows wings just ain't our thing, so up there they drive pick up trucks
(Am) (G) (F) (G) (C)
And as we speak they're probably spinning tires and slinging mud
(Dm) (Em) (F) (Am) (G) (F) (C)
Yeah, God's got a place, yeah, God's got a place for good ol' boys like us

(Pre-Chorus)
(G) (Dm)

But country folks just ain't the kind of people to forget

I thank God for taking care of my buddy until the nexF time we meet
(Chorus)
