F          C           G       C
I was watchin? cartoons on a Saturday morning
       F           (G)       C
And I heard daddy start the truck
        F                         C
I came runnin? from the house and waved him down
             G                    C
Cause he was makin? a run to the dump


F                                C
We watched the Bears and licked ice cream cones
F                     C
Take a little walk around
F                         Am
I?ll never forget what my daddy said
           G                          C
The day we pulled that bike from the ground


                   F                      C
He said one man?s trash is another man?s gold
         F                        C
If it?s thrown away it?s free to take
         Am                    G
A little oil she?ll be good to go
               F
So I rode that bicycle home
                  G
Thumbs up, daddy honkin? on the horn


         F         C            G      C
I got my first job workin? on a dairy farm
        F          (G)       C
Drivin? tractor and bailin? hay
            F               C
I?d have to circle around a bog in the ground
             G            C
Where sat an old Mustang ?58

    F                     C
One evenin? I asked that farmer
          F                     C
Why that car was just wastin? away
                F                                         Am
He said you can have it for free it don?t mean nothin? to me
    G                   C
And I couldn?t help but think

          F                       C
One man?s trash is another man?s gold
                   F                      C
What someone will throw away is a crying shame
      Am                 G
So I towed that Mustang home
                    F
Till she could be restored
                      G
I got that engine to roar

And boy did that engine roar

(Instrumental Break)

          F              C      G        C
It was an awkward blind date we met at a park
            F            (G)      C
She had her little girl taggin? along
    F                           C
Her beautiful smile hadn?t been out in a while
          G                   C
She was a hard working single mom

     F                  C
In time I learned he?d left her
          F                 C
He said ?I?m just way too young
      F                      Am
To be having a kid, I?m not ready for this
        G                   C
If you keep it I?m good as gone?

                 F                      C
He never looked back as she watched him go
                 F                           C
She stood there crying in the rain till one January day
           G
She had a beautiful baby girl
            C                       F
Tonight I tuck her in and read her stories
             Am             (G)       F
And hold her mama while the sunset glows
             C     G                  C
My two arms full       of this man?s gold
                   F               C
What some men will throw away is a crying shame
            Am       (G)     F
Those girls make our house a home
              G
Yeah my cup overflows
                  F
With this man?s gold
             C
This man?s gold
