Am D7 G D C G*
[Verse 1]
G
They like ice cold beer and smokeless tobacco
Am
and dancin' on a Saturday night,
D
church on Sunday mornin' and talkin' to Jesus,
G
there's some that say that that ain't right.
Am D
I know for certain that nobody's perfect
G D/F# Em
and they don't pretend to be,
Am D G D C G*
I like those people and they like me.
[Verse 2]
G
Well, they may roll the dice but ain't life a gamble
Am
and you may think that that's all wrong.
D
They take what they're given, hard work and hard livin',
G
right out of some old country song.
Am D
Jokes that they tell you might be off color
G D/F# Em
but sometimes that's just what you need.
Am D G G
I like those people and they like me.
[Chorus]
C
They don't kick you when you're down,
Am G G
judge you when you make a mistake.
Am
They're the first to come around,
Am D D
help you out whatever it takes.
[Verse 3]
G
They're the salt of the earth, honest as rain,
Am
a light when your world turns dark
D
and if it falls on your shoulders
G
and you need to hide out, they won't tell a soul where you are.
Am D
Yeah, they stick together like birds of a feather,
G D/F# Em
treat you like fami - ly.
Am D G G
Hey, I like those people and they like me.
[Chorus]
C
They don't kick you when you're down,
Am G G
judge you when you make a mistake.
Am
They're the first to come around,
Am D D*
help you at whatever it takes.
[Verse 3]
G
Hey, it's ice cold beer, smokeless tobacco
Am
and dancin' on a Saturday night,
D
there's church on Sunday mornin' and talkin' to Jesus;
G
there's some that say that that ain't right.
Am D
Hey, but I got a feelin' God up in heaven,
G D/F# Em
thinks that's the way it should be.
Am D G G
I like these people and they like me.
[Outro]
Am D* G Am D G D C G
Yeah, I like these people and they like me, they like me.
