Verse 1
CShe might be wearing a Fgreen cheCmise
And a Amhat that she bought 'cause it Fmatches her Amjeans
And the Gwater she drinks well it Fcomes from a stream
                                  C                  GG*
By the house she might win in that hospital lottery
And CI might be stumbling and Fcursing them Call                    
When she Ampicks me up from the Fplace that we Amboth call disGaster relief
For the Frent must be paid by the Cfirst of the month
      G             G7*
Or in my case, 15th
(Chorus)
This is Fgood as far as I can tell
It's still Cheavy as hell when it's Fgood
And I Fdo like the road
But I'd be Gbetter at home
I will Cpine for the oak streets
And Ampine for the cedars and Gyou
(Bridge)
Been Caround I suppose
I have Fchatted and Cchewed
I have Amlugged my guitar to the Fnice café blues
                         G                     F            C               GG7*
And when I come home I am coming home to this street and these avenues
(Chorus)
This is Fgood but as far as I can tell
It's still Cheavy as hell when it's Fgood
And I Fdo like the road
But I'd be Gbetter at home
I will Cpine for the oak streets
And Ampine for the cedars and GyouG7
