Drive-By Truckers - The righteous path

I got a ^Ambrand new car that drinks a b^Cunch of gas I got a h^Fouse in a neighborhood that's f^F/Eading fast I got a ^Amdog and a cat that don't f^Cight too much I got a ^Ffew hundred channels to ^F/Ekeep me in touch I got a b^Ameautiful wife and three t^Cow-headed kids I got a c^Fouple of big secrets I'd ^F/Ekill to keep hid I d^Amon't know God but I f^Cear his wrath I'm t^Frying to keep focused on the r^F/Eighteous path

I got a ^Amcouple of opinions that ^CI hold dear Got a w^Fhole lot of debt and a ^F/Ewhole lot of fear I got an i^Amtch that needs scratching but it f^Ceels alright I got the n^Feed to blow it out on S^F/Eaturday night I got a g^Amrill in the backyard and a c^Case of beers I got a b^Foat that ain't seen the w^F/Eater in years More b^Amills than money, I can d^Co the math I'm t^Frying to keep focused on the r^F/Eighteous path

I'm t^Fmaj7rying to keep focused as I d^Grive down the road On the d^Amitches and the curves and the h^Ceavy load Ain't b^Fmaj7itching bout things that aren't ^Gin my grasp Just t^Amrying to hold steady on the r^Cighteous path

There's this f^Amriend of mine I've known a^Cll my life Who can't g^Fet it right no matter how h^F/Eard he tries He's got k^Amids he don't see and s^Ceveral ex-wives And a l^Fist of bad decisions bout e^F/Eight miles wide ^AmTrouble with the law and the I^CRS And w^Fhere he'll get the money's any^F/Ebody's guess He's a l^Among way off but if you w^Cas to ask He'd s^Fay "I'm trying to stay on the r^F/Eighteous path"

^Fmaj7Trying to keep focused as we d^Grive down the road Like b^Amack in High School before the w^Corld turned cold Now the br^Fmaj7akes are thin and the cu^Grves are fast We're t^Amrying to hold steady on the ri^Cghteous path

We're h^Fmaj7anging out^Em and we're h^Ganging on^Am We're t^Fmaj7rying the best we c^Eman to keep on k^Geeping o^Amn We got m^Fmaj7essed up mind^Ems for these m^Gessed up times^Am And it's a t^Fmaj7hin thin line^{Em G}separating ^Amhis from mi^Fmaj7ne ^{Em Fmaj7 Em Fmaj7 Em}

^Fmaj7Trying to hold steady on the r^Gighteous path ^AmEighty miles an hour with a w^Corn out map Don't ^Fmaj7worry about things that ain't ^Gin my grasp ^AmTrying to hold steady on the ri^Cghteous path
