[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][G]
[Em][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I got [Em]a
brand new car that drinks a [G]bunch of gas
I got a [C]house in a neighborhood
that's [G]fading fast
I got [Em]a dog and a cat that
don't [G]fight too much
I got [C]a few hundred channels
[G]to keep me in touch
I got a [Em]beautiful wife and
three [G]tow-headed kids
kids
I got a [C]couple of big secrets
I'd [G]kill to keep hid
I [Em]don't know God but [G]I fear his wrath
I'm try[C]ing to keep focused
on the [G]righteous path

[Verse 2]
[Em]I[G][C][G]
got a [Em]couple of
opinions that [G]I hold dear
Got a [C]whole lot of debt and a [G]whole lot of fear
I got an [Em]itch that needs
scratching but it [G]feels alright
I got [C]the need to blow it
out on [G]Saturday night
I got a [Em]grill in the backyard
and a [G]case of beers
Got a [C]boat that ain't seen
the [G]water in years
More [Em]bills than money, I can [G]do the math
I'm [C]trying to keep focused
on the [G]righteous path

[Verse 3]
I'm [C]trying to keep focused
as I [D]drive down the road
On the [Em]ditches and the curves
and the [G]heavy load
Ain't [C]bitching 'bout things
that aren't [D]in my grasp
Just [Em]try ing to hold steady on the
[G]righteous path
[Em][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[G]
This [Em]friend of mine
I've known [G]all my life
Who can't [C]get it right no
matter [G]how hard he tries
He's got [Em]kids he don't see
[G]and several ex-wives
And And a [C]list of bad decisions
'bout [G]eight miles wide
[Em]Trouble with the law and [G]the IRS
And [C]where he'll get the money's
any[G]body's guess
He's [Em]a long way off but if
you [G]was to ask
[C]He'd say he's trying to stay
focused on the [G]righteous path

[Verse 5]
[C]Trying to keep focused as
we [D]drive down the road
Like we did [Em]back in High School
before the [G]world turned cold
Now the [C]brakes are thin and
[D]the curves are fast
We're try[Em]ing to hold steady on the
[G]righteous path
[Em][G][Em]

[Verse 6]
[G]
We're [C]hanging [Bm]out and
we're [D]hanging [Em]on
We're [C]trying the best we [Bm]can
to keep [D]keeping [Em]on
We got [C]messed up [Bm]minds for
these [D]messed up [Em]times
And it's a [C]thin thin [B]line [Bm]sepa[D]rating his fro[Em]m mine[C]
[Bm]

[Interlude 1]

[Em][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]Trying to hold steady on the
[D]righteous [Em]path
Eighy miles and hour with [G]a worn out map
No [C]time for self-pity or [D]or a load of crap
Try[Em]ing to stay focused on the
[G]righteous path
