Lesson number one
Money don’t grow on trees
When that
Db
rooster crowed, I hit my toes
And I rolled up my
Ab
sleeves
And
Ab
pushin’ rocks and punchin’ clocks
Broke my back for every dollar
I’ve
Db
cut your grass and built your house
And I’m proud of this blue
Ab
collar
And any
Bbm7
thing I’ve got today
I
Ab
got it the
Db
old-fashioned
way
(CHO)
Buddy, I
Ab
earned
it
Damn right it was
Bbm7
worth
it
And I’ll
Db
do it all over again
Even if I’m
Ab
hurtin’
Oh, at the
Ab
end of the day
I get to
Bbm7
watch my children play
I’m satis
Db
fied with my simple life
‘Cause, buddy, I
Ab
earned it
Ab

Lesson number two
Trust ain’t a given
They won’t
Db
hand it to ya
They see right through ya
That’s the way it is with
Ab
women
If you
Ab
love her, son, and she’s the one
Everything you’ve ever wanted
Well, keep
Db
showin’ up and don’t give up
How you think I got your mama?
(CHO)
Buddy, I
Ab
earned
it
Damn right it was
Bbm7
worth
it
And I’ll
Db
do it all over again
Even if I’m

Oh, at the
Ab
end of the day
I get to
Bbm7
watch my children play
I’m satis
Db

‘Cause, buddy, I

It don’t
Bbm7
matter who you are
Just be the
Db
best that you can be
And you’ll
Bbm7
sleep at night and understand why
That’s
Db
lesson number three
(CHO)
‘Cause, buddy, I
Ab
earned
it
You’re damn right it was
Bbm7
