[Verse]

G                      Cadd9
Sittin' on a tailgate, out on the edge of town
G                           Cadd9
Pretty girls and a bonfire, got that music up loud
D            C    D                C
Sun’s goin’ down, yeah that’s how we roll
N.C.
In a Hicktown

[Chorus]

G               D                    Em
It’s the life I love, got the cooler full
         C                G
Ol’ Hank playin on the radio
        D                 C
Red dirt, barbed wire and roses
G         D          Em             C              G
Tailgates, laid back, nothin’ but stars in a July sky
D              C
  It’s Friday night

[Verse]

G                     Cadd9
Tight white sundress, baby those deep blue eyes
G                   Cadd9
A sunburned redneck, and a bottle of muscadine wine
D           C      D             C
Toes in the water, yeah you and me
N.C.
Gone fishin’ in the dark

[Chorus]

G               D                    Em
It’s the life I love, got the cooler full

Eric Church on the radio
        D                 C
Red dirt, barbed wire and roses
G         D          Em             C              G
Tailgates, laid back, nothin’ but stars in a July sky
