Intro
Verse 1
Well, I Work For The City In The Town Where I Grew Up
Some Days I Run A Backhoe, Some Days I Run A Dump
If I Had Other Plans On My Graduation Day
Several Years Ago, I Guess I Hauled 'Em All Away
I Hauled 'Em All Away
Verse 2
She Told Me She Was Pregnant On The Day I Turned 18
I Did What You're Supposed To Do, I Bought Her A Ring
He Didn't Have To Ask Us, He Asked Us Anyway
We Stood Up And Said, "I Do, What Else Were We Gonna Say
What Else Were We Gonna Say
Chorus
'Cause, I'm Thankful For The Things I Have
And All The Things I Don't
I Got Dreams That Will Come True
I Got Some That Won't
Most The Time I Just Walk The Line, Wherever It Goes
You Can't Hang Yourself If You Ain't Got Enough Rope
Interlude
Verse 3
My Boss Man Is Mayor, I Do Just What He Asked
Mowed The Courthouse Lawn, Watched The Prisoners Walkin' Past
I'm Happy To Be Working, Instead Of Wearin' Chains
Like My Cousin William, He's Locked Up In La Grange
He's Locked Up In The La Grange
Chorus
'Cause, I'm Thankful For The Things I Have
And All The Things I Don't
I Got Dreams That Will Come True
I Got Some That Won't
Most The Time I Just Walk The Line, Wherever It Goes
You Can't Hang Yourself If You Ain't Got Enough Rope
Interlude
Verse 4
There's A Tavern Down The Highway, I Go To Drink Some Beer
And Wash Down All I'm Missin' Hangin' 'Round Here
I Drive Back To My Trailer, Make Up With My Wife
I Kiss My Sleeping Children, And I Get On With My Life
N.c.
I Get On With My Life
