[Verse 1]
GI moved to Nashville back in ‘91
I was Emhopin for heaven but I met the Devil’s son
David DAllan Coe was right ‘bout a long hard ride
Hell you Cought to see the little red Dtruck I drive
GWell I refused to be something I’m not
So I Emdidn’t make the Music City News a lot
DBut I don’t give a damn about that now
Cause some Cpeople like the way I Dsound
[Chorus]
GThings are fixin’ to get real good
In the Emhonky tonks you know I’m understood
DI been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
CThings are fixin to Dget real Ggood
[Verse 2]
GI made a lot of good friends they came from all around
We Emchased women and dreams while searching for a sound
But Dwe sank right down the musical tubes
Getting lost Cin the crowd and drinkin’ Dtoo much booze
GLord knows I done a lot of things wrong
But EmI wrote em all down in my country songs
DSometimes you gotta go to hell and back
CJust to know where you’re Dat
[Chorus]
GThings are fixin’ to get real good
In the Emhonky tonks you know I’m understood
DI been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
CThings are fixin to Dget real Ggood
[Chorus]
GThings are fixin’ to get real good
In the Emhonky tonks you know I’m understood
DI been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
CThings are fixin to Dget real Ggood
[Outro]
GYeah I’ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
And Cthings are fixin’ to Dget real Ggood
N.C.
Yeah they are
GI have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
CThings are fixin’ to Dget real Ggood
