Just a story from America
C Em Am F
He left his job and he looked at her
C Em Am F
I've had enough he put down his cup
C Em Am F
And every time she would fill it up

When she'd say
G Am F
Get up when they put you down

But like a boxer

You just spin around

And so he's working like a dog each day

And pretty soon he's got a Cadillac car
C G Am F
And on the weekends he would drive so far

And they don't slow down
G Am
America's such a speedy town
Am F
Hot clothes high society
G
He said it never get the best of me

And then he met a girl with hair like the sun
C Em Am
With social status she was number one
C Em Am
He left it all and he left downtown
C Em Am
A little voice follows him around
Chorus:
C
And it'd say
G Am F
Get up when they put you down
C G
And like a boxer
Am F
You just spin around
C G Am F
Your kind of guy was so very few
C F Am F
I thought they'd never get the best of you
