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

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