[Verse 1]
D                                            
Lately I've been going to
   D
A place I don't like going through
       C9
Where I'm no good and I'm all wrong
   C9
I sing about it in this song

D
Amarillo Shamrock,
     D
The road is getting tighter
    C9
A story for today
    C9
A story for tomorrow

 D
After building fires
    D
And after burning bridges
     C9
The broom is on the doorstep
    C9                                  D
So simple you'll never forget it

[Chorus]
                   D
Thank God for this pen

Brighton, U.S.A
              D
Is leaning in
                      D
This film was shot on memory slides
                G
In the Western Hemisphere
           D
Alabama's getting near

[Verse 2]
D
Alabama sunrise
D
Oklahoma prairie
    C9
And every town's claim to fame
 C9
None of this before I came

 D
Come back to tribal town
  D
Stressing the get down
     C9
The many birds I have seen
 C9
This song means nothing to me

 D
Down in your soul mine
 D
Wearing the bible belt
 C9
This is all I really know
 C9                                  D
It's the best I've ever felt

[Chorus]
                   D
Thank God for this pen
