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

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