Yeah, I wrote the song with Austin Cunningham here in Nashville
He plays my band sometimes
but
Yeah, I ran into a guy that I used to play Little League baseball with
With school with for a while and he he worked for the city where I kind of grew up in and it's not city
it's about 800 people, but he he works for the city down there and
got thinking about that and I just that's where I got the opening line and and I
Wrote a couple verses went down played playing for Austin and then we ended up making a song
And of course Austin's got to be pretty happy the title cut yeah, I got to get him to sing some of these songs
We write though.
He's a solo act in
Hadn't heard him sing.

[F#] And we stood up
Said I do [D#m] what else were we [F#] gonna say?
What else were we gonna say?
[C#] Well, I'm thankful for the things I have [G#] and all the things [F#] I don't
[C#] And I got dreams that will come [G#] true
I got [F#] some new one
But _ _ [C#] most the time I just walk the [G#] line
wherever [F#] it go _ _
Cuz you [G#] can't hang yourself

Do just what he asked

[D#m] locked up [F#] in the green
Yeah, you locked up in the green
[C#] And I'm thankful for the things I [G#] have and all the things [F#] I don't
[C#] I got dreams that will come [G#m] true
And I got [F#] some new one
But _ [C#] most time I just walk the line
[D#m] wherever [F#] it go _
_ Cuz you [G#] can't hang yourself
[F#] If you ain't got enough rope
_ [C#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _

I go to drink some beers
And wash down all I'm missing
[D#m] by hanging [F#] around

Wow, Chris, that [G#m] is absolutely amazing
I just couldn't help think that I wonder if the guy that you said you based the song about has heard this or not
