COST OF LIVIN'
Ronnie Dunn
2011, Arista Records
Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: (D) (Em) (G) (D)
Every(D)thing to know about me
Is (Em) written on this page
The (G) number you can reach me
My (D) social and my age
Yes I served in the army
It’s (Em) where I learned to shoot
Eighteen (G) months in the desert
Pourin’ (D) sand out of my boots
No I’ve (Em) never been con(D/F#)victed of a (G) crime
(Em) I could start this (D/F#) job at any (G) time.
I got a (D) strong back
Steel toes
I (Em) rarely call in sick
A (G) good truck
What I don’t know
(D) I catch on real quick
I work weekends
If I have to
(Em) Nights and holidays
Give you (G) 40
And then some
(D) Whatever it takes
Three (Em) dollars and (D/F#) change at the (G) pump
(Em) Cost of livin’s (G) high and goin’ (D) up.
I put Robert down as a reference
He's known me all my life
We attend the same church
He introduced me to my wife
Gave my last job everything
Before it headed south
Took the shoes off of my children's feet
The food out of their mouths
Yesterday my folks offered to help
But they’re barely getting by themselves
Repeat Chorus
I'm (Em) sure a hundred (D/F#) others have ap(G)plied
(Em) Rumor has it you're (D/F#) only takin' (G) five
I got a strong back
Steel toes
I'm handy with a wrench
There's nothing I can't drive
Nothing I can't fix
I work sun-up to sun-down
Ain't too proud to sweep the floors
Bank has started calling
And the wolves are at my door
Three dollars and change at the pump
Cost of livin’s high and goin’ up.
