G
Here's to the daddies who drive 'em big ole trucks
G
Doing what they've gotta do to fill their babies' bellies up
                  C       G
And here's to the mamas who hold the fort down while they're gone
G                                                                  C  G
Making those miles all worthwhile when they get back home
G                                  C                  G
And here's to the teachers who are up at the crack of dawn
G                                           C                       G
Learning our little ones to read and write, showing them right from wrong
G                 C           G                        C
And here's to the doctors who save the little boys and girls
        G                              D              G
Who you never know, might one day grow up to save the world

[Chorus]
G                 C       G             C
And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G                                     D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
        G               C               G                C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives
G                                 D
Lord knows they'd rather be right here
             C                          D
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
          G
Needing a beer

G       C  G

[Verse 2]
G                        C                  G
Here's to the farmer who was gonna come out tonight
G                                                          C                  G
But there's hay on the ground and it's gonna pour down and he's running outta light
G                 C          G                   C
And here's to the banker who gave him a few more weeks
          G                               D                  G
'Cause he knows a man who knows that hard can't lose no more sleep

[Chorus]
G                 C       G             C
And here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G                                     D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
G                       C               G                C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives
G                                 D
Lord knows they'd rather be right here
             C                          D
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
          C
Needing a beer

G   D    C  G  D

[Bridge]
Am
To all you unsung heroes
G
We owe you a round
     C
I'll buy one for you next time
         D
And I'll drink one for you now

[Chorus]
G             C       G             C
Here's to the one who ain't in here tonight
G                                     D
Telling jokes and blowing smoke, just soaking up that neon light
G                       C               G                C
They're fighting fires, fighting crime, fighting for our lives
G                                 D
Lord knows they'd rather be right here
             C                          D
So here's to all the ones out there somewhere
