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

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