[Verse 1]
C#m A
Moved to a new town, didn't make a penny
E
For the better part of two plus years
C#m A
Got through somehow, losing to winning
E
And I ended up standing here
C#m A
Wake up one day, look back
E
Can't say knew it when you started out
C#m A
Me and my lady luck riding in my old truck
E
Got me to the here and now
[Chorus]
C#m A
The key to life ain't opening the lock
E
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
C#m A
The key to life ain't under the mat
E
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
C#m A
It's the simple things like you and me
E
East-bound down no place to be
C#m A E
Just driving around, turning that key to life
C#m A E
It ain't all worked out but everything'll be alright
C#m A E
I'm just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
[Verse 2]
C#m A
Yeah, it's something in your ice tea, homemade ice cream
E
Colder beer and closer friends
C#m A
It's a good back porch and a four by four
E
And a summer that's slow to end
C#m A E
It's Amazing Grace when you think it ain't coming along
C#m A E
It's a second wind when you thought that breeze was gone, come on
[Chorus]
C#m A
The key to life ain't opening the lock
E
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
C#m A
The key to life ain't under the mat
E
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
C#m A
It's the simple things like you and me
E
East-bound down no place to be
C#m A E
Just driving around, turning that key to life
C#m A E
Yeah, we drink too much but everything'll be alright
C#m A E
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life

[Bridge]
C#m A E
Some doors swing wide open, some stay forever closed
C#m A E
I may not know it all, but one thing I know is
[Chorus]
C#m A
The key to life ain't opening the lock
E
To a bag full of money (a bag full of money)
C#m A
The key to life ain't under the mat
E
To some greener grass sunny (out in the country)
C#m A
It's the simple things like you and me
E
East-bound down no place to be
C#m A E
Just driving around, turning that key to life
C#m A E
It ain't all worked out but everything'll be alright
C#m A E
Just living that dream, yeah, turning that key to life
