Intro: (G D C D) 2

Verse 1:
G Little Jimmy wakes up from a D cricket song night,
C Runs outside, bare D feet on the ground,
G A warm summer sun, creek-side D swinging rope,
C There’s a great big splash, water’s D cold and deep,
C He’s living the life on D country time,
(G D C D)

G He turns sixteen, gets an old D beat up truck,
C The king of the road, red dust D trailing behind,
G He smiles at her D she gives him a wink,
C Little miss Suzy D jumps right in,
C They’re riding back roads on, D country time,
G

G It ain’t on a map and it D ain’t on no clock,
C You just know when you’re on it and you D hope it don’t stop,
D Just C living that sweet life on, country D time,
G Yeah just C living the life on, D country time,

Lead Break: (G D C D) (G D C D)

G Forty nine years later, rocking D on the front porch,
C Suzy smiles at Jimmy, D gives him a wink,
G Jimmy cracks the same old, D little boy grin,
C They raised four kids, all D grown and gone,
D Time to C get back on, D country time, G

G It ain’t on a map and it D ain’t on no clock,
C You just know when you’re on it and you D hope it don’t stop,
D Just C living that sweet life on, D country time,
G Yeah just C living the life on, D country time,

G Just living that C sweet life on, D country time,
G Yeah just living the C life on, D country time,
