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

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