The Righteous Path Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[INTRO]

[Am] [C] [F] [F/E] (x2)

[VERSE]

I got a [Am]brand new car that drinks a b[C]unch of gas
I got a h[F]ouse in a neighborhood that's f[F/E]ading fast
I got a [Am]dog and a cat that don't f[C]ight too much
I got a [F]few hundred channels to [F/E]keep me in touch
I got a b[Am]eautiful wife and three t[C]ow-headed kids
I got a c[F]ouple of big secrets I'd [F/E]kill to keep hid
I d[Am]on't know God but I f[C]ear his wrath
I'm t[F]rying to keep focused on the r[F/E]ighteous path

[INTERLUDE]

[Am] [C] [F] [F/E]

[VERSE]

I got a [Am]couple of opinions that [C]I hold dear
Got a w[F]hole lot of debt and a [F/E]whole lot of fear
I got an i[Am]tch that needs scratching but it f[C]eels alright
I got the n[F]eed to blow it out on S[F/E]aturday night
I got a g[Am]rill in the backyard and a c[C]ase of beers
I got a b[F]oat that ain't seen the w[F/E]ater in years
More b[Am]ills than money, I can d[C]o the math
I'm t[F]rying to keep focused on the r[F/E]ighteous path

[CHORUS]

I'm t[Fmaj7]rying to keep focused as I d[G]rive down the road
On the d[Am]itches and the curves and the h[C]eavy load
Ain't b[Fmaj7]itching bout things that aren't [G]in my grasp
Just t[Am]rying to hold steady on the r[C]ighteous path

[INTERLUDE]

[Am] [C] (x2)

[VERSE]

There's this f[Am]riend of mine I've known a[C]ll my life
Who can't g[F]et it right no matter how h[F/E]ard he tries
He's got k[Am]ids he don't see and s[C]everal ex-wives
And a l[F]ist of bad decisions bout e[F/E]ight miles wide
[Am]Trouble with the law and the I[C]RS
And w[F]here he'll get the money's any[F/E]body's guess
He's a l[Am]ong way off but if you w[C]as to ask
He'd s[F]ay "I'm trying to stay on the r[F/E]ighteous path"

[CHORUS]

[Fmaj7]Trying to keep focused as we d[G]rive down the road
Like b[Am]ack in High School before the w[C]orld turned cold
Now the br[Fmaj7]akes are thin and the cu[G]rves are fast
We're t[Am]rying to hold steady on the ri[C]ghteous path

[INTERLUDE]

[Am] [C] (x2)

[BRIDGE]

We're h[Fmaj7]anging out[Em]
and we're h[G]anging on[Am]
We're t[Fmaj7]rying the best we c[Em]an
to keep on k[G]eeping o[Am]n
We got m[Fmaj7]essed up mind[Em]s
for these m[G]essed up times[Am]
And it's a t[Fmaj7]hin thin line[Em]
[G]separating [Am]his from mi[Fmaj7]ne [Em] [Fmaj7] [Em] [Fmaj7] [Em]

[INTERLUDE]

[Am] [C] (x4)

[CHORUS]

[Fmaj7]Trying to hold steady on the r[G]ighteous path
[Am]Eighty miles an hour with a w[C]orn out map
Don't [Fmaj7]worry about things that ain't [G]in my grasp
[Am]Trying to hold steady on the ri[C]ghteous path
