Things Are Fixin To Get Real Good

G
I moved to Nashville back in ‘91
      Em
I was hopin for heaven but I met the
 Devil’s son
      D
David Allan Coe was right ‘bout a 
long hard ride
         C                         
Hell you ought to see the little 
  D
red truck I drive
G
Well I refused to be something I’m 
not
     Em
So I didn’t make the Music City News
 a lot
D
But I don’t give a damn about that 
now
           C                    
Cause some people like the way I 
 D
sound


[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m 
understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks 
and hardwood and
C                   D        G
Things are fixin to get real good

[Verse 2]
G
I made a lot of good friends they 
came from all around
   Em
We chased women and dreams while 
searching for a sound
    D
But we sank right down the musical 
tubes
             C               
Getting lost in the crowd and 
          D
drinkin’ too much booze
G
Lord knows I done a lot of things 
wrong
    Em
But I wrote em all down in my 
country songs
D
Sometimes you gotta go to hell and 
back
C                         D
Just to know where you’re at


[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m 
understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks 
and hardwood and
C                   D        G
Things are fixin to get real good


[Chorus]
G
Things are fixin’ to get real good
       Em
In the honky tonks you know I’m 
understood
D
I been to the school of hard knocks 
and hardwood and
C                   D        G
