Bm G D (x2)

It’s just an old beat up truck
Some say that I should trade up
Now that I got some jangle in my pocket
But what they don’t understand
Is it’s the miles that make a man
I wouldn’t trade that thing in for a rocket
What they don’t know is my dad and me
We drove her out to Tennessee
And she’s still here and now he’s gone
So I hold on

It’s just an old beat up box
It’s rusty strings across the top
It probably don’t look like much to you
But these dents and scratches in the wood
Yea that’s what makes it sound so good
To me it’s better than brand new
Yea see this here flat top guitar
Has had my back in a million bars
Singing every country song
So I hold on

To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yeah I hold on
I hold on
Like the stripes to the flag
Like a boy to his dad
I can’t change who I am, right or wrong
So I hold on

Baby lookin at you right now
There ain’t never been no doubt
Without you I’d be nothing
So if you ever worry about, me walkin out
Yeah let me tell you something
I hold on
I hold on
Can you hear me baby
I hold on
I hold on

To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
To the things, I believe in
My faith, your love, our freedom
To the things I can count on
To keep me going strong
Yea I hold on
I hold on

(Capo on 2)

Intro.: |(G) |(C) |(G) |(Em) |

Standing here on this cold ground, tears falling down in the dirt

This world keeps spinning round and round, but you’re lying still in the dirt

Don’t wanna swim in this darkness, drown in a whiskey sea

But there’s no making sense of the senseless while this pain is killing me

(Chorus)
There’s not a stone in my heart I’ve left unturned, not a piece of my soul that I ain’t searched

The only answer I found for all this hurt is there ain’t no answer here on earth

Solo: |(G) |(C) |(G) |(Em) |

I ain’t the best of believers, ain’t at the front of the church

I’ve read the words of the teacher, but I still struggle with what it’s all worth

(Chorus)
‘Cause there’s not a stone in my heart I’ve left unturned, not a piece of my soul that I ain’t searched

The only answer I found for all this hurt is there ain’t no answer here on earth

Solo: |(G) |(C) |(G) |(Em) |

I wish that I could be stronger, I wanna have that kind of faith

But even if I did, I still wonder, ‘cause nothing would change

You’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, hmm, hmm

‘Cause you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone, hmm, hmm

Please, help me believe

I’m on my knees, help me believe

(Chorus)
‘Cause there’s not a stone in my heart I’ve left unturned, not a piece of my soul that I ain’t searched

The only answer I found for all this hurt is there ain’t no answer here on earth

Outro.: Down here on earth, there’s no answers here on earth |

Hmm, hmm,

here on earth
