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

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