[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
DDaddy worked the same job for twenty-some odd years
GOvertime and weekends never bothered him a bit
AWell, Momma cooked and cleaned and sometimes on the side
GShe'd sell Mary Kay around holidays to make an extra dime
DKeepin' the lights on
DMmm
[Verse 2]
DMe and my kid brother, man, we thought we had it made
GShoes were on our feet, food was on our plates
AWe never understood why when Daddy said the prayer
GBefore he'd say Amen, he'd thank the Man upstairs
DFor keepin' the lights on
[Bridge]
G DYeah, hard times they come and they go
G DThere's smooth rides, there's highs and there's lows
G D/F#There's blue skies and sunshine
Em DThe winds change, and storm clouds
G B ABut somehow there always is enough
[Guitar Solo]
G D G Mmm
D A G D/F# Em D G D/F# AOh
[Verse 3]
DHonky-tonks and highways can be hell on a soul
GThe neon life and late nights sure make a young man old
ABut me and this old guitar have got a promise that we've made
GHeaven knows that it ain't easy keepin' them ends tied, but hey
DWe're keepin' the lights on
[Outro]
DOh, we're keepin' the lights on
D G DWe're keepin' the lights on, oh
G D G D/F# Em D G D/F# AMmm
G D G D G D/F# Em D
