Tom: C

       F                  C
To the way the moonlights shining
        G
In this water tower sky
       F                    C
To the backroads we’ve been driving
       G
On our way out here tonight
     F                           C
To a bunch of pickups around the bonfire
      G
Lotta guitar pickin on car tires
        F                 C
For the music and for the love
  G
I thank the good Lord above


[Chorus]
         F                C
Here’s to mama, here’s to Jesus,
          G
Here’s to all of my party people
          F                     C
Here’s to good times, here’s to freedom,
            G
And all the ones who ain’t made it back home
          F                   C
Here’s to football, here’s to tailgates,
          G                      Am
Here’s to working all week for Saturdays
       F               C               G
Grab a bottle, crack a can, raise your hand
                C*
Here’s to beer, cheers

[Verse 2]
         F               C
Yeah, to neon lights and crop towns
   G
To drop dead gorgeous knockouts
   F                 C
To good ole dogs and largemouths
    G
And grandad's hand me down Ford
         F                C
Yeah, to cowboy boots and blue jeans
   G
To home-cooked meals and home teams
        F               C
Yeah we all got at least one thing
     G
That we can be thankful for


[Chorus]
              F               C
So, here’s to mama, here’s to Jesus,

Here’s to working all week for Saturdays

Grab a bottle, crack a can, raise your hand

[Bridge]
   F                   C
If there’s one thing I believe in
        G
There’s always a drink worth drinking
          F             C
You don’t always need a reason
      G
Other than the beers ice cold


[Chorus]
              F               C
So, here’s to mama, here’s to Jesus,
