Together: 
G                         A          Bm7 
Cuz I'd rather  play the grand ole  orpy,

Right now I'm not thinking bout 
     A           Bm7 
a family of  my own

           Bm7 
my life  is lackin 
        G                 A 
cuz my time at home is usually   
           D Dsus   D      G 
spent  packin/          might  assume 
                     A                 Bm7 
that I don't have a clue what loves  about 
         G
