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

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