[Intro]
F Gm Bb F x2
[Verse 1]
F
Well, I never been to the Great Divide
Gm
But my journey started when I was just five
Bb F
I don't know why, I don't know why
F
Somehow I've been to places I've never been
Gm
And I lived through things I don't understand
Bb F
And I know things I'm not supposed to know
Gm
But I'm fine with it
Bb
I just get on with it
F
'Cause I can't change it
[Verse 2]
F
They say keep in the flow and you'll never grow old
Gm
But I've got a story that's yet been told
Bb F
So I'm telling it while I'm living it
F
See, it's the boys from the past that blazed my path
Gm
Waylon and Willie, Jerry Jeff and the rest
Bb F
It's their blood and sweat that turned this dirt red
Gm
But I'm fine with it
Bb
I just get on with it
F
'Cause I can't change it
[Chorus]
Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
F Dm
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
F
Like a long lost friend
Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
Bb
But there's work to be done
F
Grab yourself a chair"
[Verse 3]
F
So Mike and Cody, I'm calling on you
Gm
Fifty Dollar Blue and Stoney, you too
Bb F
Wade's got his getaway, yeah, and I got mine
F
We gotta keep it true, we gotta see it through
Gm
We gotta carry this torch, it'll get us through
Bb F
Oh, Jason Boland says we gotta do what we gotta do
Gm
But we're fine with it
Bb
We just get on with it
F
'Cause we can't change it
[Chorus]
Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
F Dm
The voices of a thousand souls fell gently around my shoulders
F
Like a long lost friend
Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
Bb
But there's work to be done
F
So grab yourself a chair"
[Instrumental]

I just get on with it
F
'Cause I can't change it, no, no, no
[Chorus 2]
Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
F Dm
I cried a thousand tears for those who came before and those
F
Who soon to follow
Gm
I said "Hello boys, I'm glad you're here
Bb
But there's work to be done
F
So grab yourself a chair"
[Chorus 3]
Bb
The day the red dirt blew through Texas
F Dm
The voices of a thousand exes sang out to me in harmonies
F
Like I never heard before
Gm
I said, "Hello girls, I'm glad you're here
Bb
But there's work to be done
F
Could you bring us one more beer"
