[Verse 1]

 A
Coffee cup cold and black
 A
Wish it had a little shot of Jack
  Bm
'Sides that, can't complain
 Bm
Just tryin' to do the dang thing
 E
Might change the oil in my truck
E
I ain't paying no thirty-five bucks
 D                                E
Kids need shoes, mama needs Levi's


[Chorus]

E                           A
And I'm just tryna keep my daughters off the pole
        A
And my sons out of jail
 Bm
Tryna get to church so I don't go to hell
          E
I'm just tryna keep my wife from figuring out
     D                 E
That I married up and she married way way...
A
Down in Alabama where they love Nick Saban
 Bm                                                D
Tryna write a song the local country station will play
              E                 A  E
Hey I'm just tryna stay out of AA


[Verse 2]
        A
Well I gave up Skoal and cigarettes
 A
Now I'm just hooked on Nicorette
 Bm
Trying not to be like my old man
         Bm
But the older I get the more I am
 E
Tryna get paid and a little love made y'all
 E
Hey y'all at the end of the day y'all
 D
I'm just another John Deere guy
E
Up on a tractor


[Chorus]
                A
Tryna steer my daughters off the pole
        A
And my sons out of jail
 Bm
Tryna get to church so I don't go to hell
          E
I'm just tryna keep my wife from figuring out
     D                 E
That I married up and she married way way...
A
Down in Alabama where they love Nick Saban
 Bm                                                D
Tryna write a song the local country station will play
              E                 A   E
Hey I'm just tryna stay out of AA


[Bridge]

 A                         Bm
Ooooooh ooh ooh tryna stay out of AA everyday

One step at a time
 E
Life's hard, family's weird
 E
Sometimes you just need a beer
 D
Can I get an Amen


[Chorus]

 E                           A
Man I'm just tryna keep my daughters off the pole
        A
And my sons out of jail
 Bm
Tryna get to church so I don't go to hell
           E
I'm just tryna keep my wife from figuring out
      D                 E
That I married up and she married way way...
A
Down in Alabama where they love Nick Saban
 Bm                                                D
Tryna write a song the local country station will play
              E                 A  E
Hey I'm just tryna stay out of AA


[Outro]
            Bm            E                 A
But hey hey hey I'm just tryna stay out of AA
