I thought mine was fishin', cussin' and drinkin' beer
Em7 A
But what keeps my ticker tickin' is suddenly switchin' gears
D F#m7
'Cause you came along, messed this old boy up
Em7 A
And girl, I'm good as gone if I don't have your love

At home, alone, I'm country boy complete
Em7 A
If I didn't have you, girl, there wouldn't be nothing
CHORUS:
