The Men That Drive Me Places

Intro
D D/C Bm A G A D

D                D/C#         
Howard drives a minivan with the 
    Bm                     A
cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale
         G                   A   D
And it's been that way since 1994
D                       D/C#     
Does his business on a flip phone
           Bm               A
 with the most obnoxious ringtone
          G             A      
I didn't ask but I can tell he's 
           D
from New York
             Bm                A  
And he spoke proudly of his 
                  G                
daughter and that this fall she'd 
 G/F#
be in college
              G               
And that he always wished he'd 
  A          D
gotten his degree
         Bm                 A     
You can tell he came from nothing,
           G              G/F#
 built a future out of hustling
            G               A     
And somehow I'm the one you people
          D
 pay to see

G               D
Oh isn't that just the way it goes
                     A             
You're dealt a good hand and you 
          Bm
get celebrated
G                D
Oh how am I the only one who knows

              A                
I'm half the man of the men who 
            D   D/C  Bm  A  G  A  D
drive me places

D                 D/C#     
Danny showed up early fifteen 
      Bm               A
minutes till five thirty
         G                A 
Making sure that I'd be on my 
             D
morning flight
             D              D/C#  
He said he'd love to fix 
                  Bm              
computers, but that he can't until 
A
he's fluent
                   G          
So he spends his driving money 
   A             D
taking class at night
            Bm              A     
He wore a neatly ironed dress 
           G                 G/F#
shirt and he helps his kids with 
homework
           G                A     
And deep inside I couldn't help 
         D
but ask myself
              Bm              A   
Why that at night I'm up on stage,
      G             G/F#
 everybody knows my name
                G           A
While Danny's early picking up 
            D
somebody else

G              D
Oh isn't that just the way it goes
                    A              
You're dealt a good hand and you 
   Bm
get celebrated
G                D
Oh how am I the only one who knows
             A                  
I'm half the man of the men that 
           D   D/C  Bm  A  G  A  D
drive me places

             D             D/C#   
And now everything's not given, I 
        Bm            A
work hard to make my living
              G                A  
But I'll give credit where I think
          Bm
 credits due
       Bm                  A
Maybe you got dealt a good hand
           G                    
Maybe you play it the best that you 
G/F#
can
     G                Bm       G 
But I don't know how far you'd 
                 Bm
walk without those cards
   G             Bm            A
In Howard and Danny's working shoes

G            D
But that's just the way it goes
                    A              
You're dealt a good hand and you 
     Bm
get celebrated
G                 D
Oh how am I the only one who knows
               A                
I'm half the man of the men that 
  D   D/C#  Bm  A  G  A  D
drive me places
