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

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