[Intro]

[Verse]
DYou don't have to holler and Emwe don't have to fight
We can Asettle all this right here Dright now tonight
No Dneed to call no lawyer, you don't Emhave to pack no bags
It's Aobvious all you want is Dhalf more than your half
I see Bmhere on this paper, you Awrote what you want down
You want Gme to sign over what was Aours is all yours now
Take the Dhouse that my sweat built ya, here's the Emkeys to both the cars
I'll Gdo you up the title to my old AHarley in the barn
Take Dall our family pictures and my Emrecords off the wall
And Gany other sign of living proof that AI lived here at all
I can't Bmhelp but not see a Acouple little things Gnot there on your F#mlist
So if you don't Emcare, AI'll keep the Dkids
[Instrumental]
|(Em) |(A) |(D) |
[Verse]
DLook at dad's old Gibson, I Emsee you wrote that down
Girl, Athat's below the belt, Dbut its all yours now
There's Dgrandma's diamond ring, she wore Emfifty some odd years
She'll Aprobably roll over in her grave, but DI'll leave it here, I'm Aouta here
Take the Dbass boat and that tractor, all my Emguns and Earnhardt hat
Every Gnickle we had tucked away and 20 Ayears I can't get back
Take the Dshirt right off my shoulders, hope it Emfits, oh, whats his name
Take Geverything you think your world re- Avolves around ever day
I can't Bmhelp but not see a Acouple little things Gnot there on your F#mlist
So if you don't Emcare, AI'll keep the Dkids
[Instrumental]
