D E A E 

A 
Well I know sometimes you find it hard 

   D                              A 
To understand just what we do out here 

F#m 
Well that bus rolls up at home 
                 E 
And I just disappear 
  
D 
And I sure don't like to leave you 

                                       A 
Couldn't stand for you to think that I don't care 

D 
So I wrote this job description 
  
        E                               A 
Just to tell you what I do when I'm not there 

        D 
I sleep eighty miles an hour 
  
                                    A 
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate 

          D 
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls 

                                    E 
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace 

A 
Then we shut her down in another town 

D                             A          A-E  F#m 
Shower up and do just what we came to do 

D 
Sing for the people 

          E                                A    E 
Count the money and the miles back home to you 

BRIDGE 
A  D   A  F#m  E  D  A  F#m  D  E  A 

A 
Well each night I take the stage  

       D                                 A 
With a six piece band and a guitar in my hand 

F#m 
Singin' songs about my life 
  
                           E 
All the good times and the bad 

D 
Then we say goodbye and we load it up 

                                A 
And head somewhere I've already been 

D                                  E 
Then I lay down in that double bed alone 
  
                     A 
And I thank the Lord again 

REPEAT Chorus 

TAG 
     D 
Well I just sing for the people 

          E                                A 
Count the money and the miles back home to you
