THREE CHORDS AND A CLOUD OF DUST

Three chords and a bucket of trouble
Three chords and I'll have no fear
Three chords and I'm still standing
Three chords with an ice cold beer

Three chords and a grey picket fence
Three chords and a kickback porch
Three chords and a stormshow theater
Three chords and a cat-tail torch

Three chords and the leaves are turning
Three chords and the air is crisp
Three chords and the football's flying
Three chords through the autumn bliss

refrain:
Hey you -- where'd you come from
Hey you -- you better leave me be
Hey you -- you keep pullin my grip loose
As I'm holding to the simpletree

Three chords like moon shine kissing
Three chords that rub my head
Three chords and wake up in bluejeans
Three chords in a feather bed

Three chords and a junksale treasure
Three chords and a hat that fits
Three chords and a dog that listens
Three chords and sometimes sits

Three chords and a friend who walks slow
Three chords and an easy laugh
Three chords who'll float down the river
Three chords and'll float you back

refrain

Three chords and a naked baby
Three chords who's chewin on leaves
Three chords and the line gets fuzzy
Between your friends and family

Three chords and the kids are crazy
Three chords in their hopelost songs
Three chords and I remember
Three chords that carry on

Three chords and songs for singin
Three chords and a fire to feed
Three chords and the coals match the sunrise
Three chords that's all I need

refrain
