[Verse 1]
D
Faded dreams and blue jeans
G
A Rangers cap with sweat rings
A D A
There's a hole in the sole of my favorite boots
D
Well I've been at it a long time
G
Working on that bottom line
A
And every shirt I've worn,
D
The collar's been blue.
[Pre Chorus]
Bm A G
One of these days I'm gonna jump right off that shelf
Bm A
And hit the ground runnin'
G A
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
[Chorus]
D C
I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long
G
Warming that bench as chance moves on
A D A
And believe me, that ain't no way to live.
D C
And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old
G
And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
A D A
But someday something's gotta give.
[Verse 2]
D
Busted hands and broken land
G
And black gold turned to sand
A D A
And the whiskey's the only well that's running deep
D
Yeah the dust devils dancin' on the mesa again
G
At the mercy of that west Texas wind
A D
And the tumbleweeds, they seem to know more than me.
[Pre Chours 2]
Bm A G
Oh they always find their way right out of town
Bm A
They never turn back,
G A
They keep on rolling and they don't slow down.
[Chorus]
D
I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long
C G
Warming that bench as chance moves on
A D A
And believe me, that ain't no way to live.
D C
And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old
G
And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
A D
But someday something's gotta give.
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
D
I've been sittin' on the fence for way too long
G
Warming that bench as chance moves on
A D A
And believe me, that ain't no way to live.
D C
And this barely gettin' by is really gettin' old
G
And it's hard to turn a wrench on a rusty bolt
A D A
But someday something's gotta give.
