[Verse]
DThe cotton fields of West Texas
Are bleached Awhite with the blood, sweat, and tears
Of the workBming man with a little dirt on his hands
The Grace of GGod and answered prayers
DIt's hardly ever easy
And when the gAoing gets a little tough
You strBmap your boots on tight, screw your head on right 
And keep Ggoing til the job gets done
AIt ain't complicated
ASo don't overthink it, son
[Chorus]
GDaddy always Asaid that the best laid Dplans gC#et tossed to the BmwindA  
GIt's all about heart anAd soul, and refusing tDo quit
GSometimes you win and Asomtimes you lose
BmJust give it Aall you've Ggot
GAnd if the whiskey don't fix itA  
GWell the whiskey won't fix it
AIt's still worth a shot
[Verse]
DI've rode a million miles of fences
With a Ahammer and nails and time
As the sBmun fades red, I stare out over the land
Thinking 'Gbout that old man in the sky
AI take a tug from his old flask
AMan, I hear those words again
[Chorus]
GDaddy always Asaid that the best laid Dplans gC#et tossed to the BmwindA  
GIt's all about heart anAd soul, and refusing tDo quit
GSometimes you win and Asomtimes you lose
BmJust give it Aall you've Ggot
GAnd if the whiskey don't fix itA  
GWell the whiskey won't fix it
AIt's still worth a shot
GDaddy always Asaid that the best laid Dplans gC#et tossed to the BmwindA  
GIt's all about heart anAd soul, and refusing tDo quit
GSometimes you win and Asomtimes you lose
BmJust give it Aall you've Ggot
GAnd if the whiskey don't fix itA  
GWell the whiskey won't fix it
AIt's still worth a shot

[Verse]

The cotton fields of West Texas

Are bleached white with the blood, sweat, and tears

Of the working man with a little dirt on his hands

The Grace of God and answered prayers

It's hardly ever easy

And when the going gets a little tough

You strap your boots on tight, screw your head on right

And keep going til the job gets done

It ain't complicated

So don't overthink it, son

[Chorus]

G A D C# Bm A

Daddy always said that the best laid plans get tossed to the wind

G A D

It's all about heart and soul, and refusing to quit

G A

Sometimes you win and somtimes you lose

Bm A G

Just give it all you've got

G A

And if the whiskey don't fix it

Well the whiskey won't fix it

It's still worth a shot

[Verse]

I've rode a million miles of fences

With a hammer and nails and time

As the sun fades red, I stare out over the land

Thinking 'bout that old man in the sky

I take a tug from his old flask

Man, I hear those words again

[Chorus]

G A D C# Bm A

Daddy always said that the best laid plans get tossed to the wind

G A D

It's all about heart and soul, and refusing to quit

G A

Sometimes you win and somtimes you lose

Bm A G

Just give it all you've got

G A

And if the whiskey don't fix it

Well the whiskey won't fix it

It's still worth a shot

G A D C# Bm A

Daddy always said that the best laid plans get tossed to the wind

G A D

It's all about heart and soul, and refusing to quit

G A

Sometimes you win and somtimes you lose

Bm A G

Just give it all you've got

G A

And if the whiskey don't fix it

Well the whiskey won't fix it

It's still worth a shot
