[Verse 1]
GHere's to the daddies who drive 'em big ole trucks
GDoing what they've gotta do to fill their babies' bellies up
And here's to the Cmamas whGo hold the fort down while they're gone
GMaking those miles all worthwhile when they get back homeC  G  
GAnd here's to the teachers who are Cup at the crack of Gdawn
GLearning our little ones to read and write, Cshowing them right from Gwrong
GAnd here's to the Cdoctors who Gsave the little boys and Cgirls
Who you Gnever know, might one day grow Dup to save the Gworld
[Chorus]
GAnd here's to the Cone who Gain't in here Ctonight
GTelling jokes and blowing smoke, just Dsoaking up that neon light
They're Gfighting fires, Cfighting crime, Gfighting for our Clives
GLord knows they'd rather be right Dhere
So here's to Call the ones out there someDwhere
Needing a Gbeer
G       C  G
[Verse 2]
GHere's to the farmer who Cwas gonna come out Gtonight
GBut there's hay on the ground and it's gonna pour down and Che's running outta Glight
GAnd here's to the Cbanker who Ggave him a few more Cweeks
'Cause he Gknows a man who knows that hard Dcan't lose no more Gsleep
[Chorus]
GAnd here's to the Cone who Gain't in here Ctonight
GTelling jokes and blowing smoke, just Dsoaking up that neon light
GThey're fighting fires, Cfighting crime, Gfighting for our Clives
GLord knows they'd rather be right Dhere
So here's to Call the ones out there someDwhere
Needing a Cbeer

[Bridge]
AmTo all you unsung heroes
GWe owe you a round
I'll Cbuy one for you next time
And I'll Ddrink one for you now
[Chorus]
GHere's to the Cone who Gain't in here Ctonight
GTelling jokes and blowing smoke, just Dsoaking up that neon light
GThey're fighting fires, Cfighting crime, Gfighting for our Clives
GLord knows they'd rather be right Dhere
So here's to Call the ones out there someDwhere
