The Men That Drive Me Places Ben Rector
Intro
[D] [D/C] [Bm] [A] [G] [A] [D]
[D]Howard drives a m[D/C]inivan with the [Bm]cruise ships from Ft. L[A]auderdale
And it's [G]been that way since [A]1994[D]
[D]Does his business on a f[D/C]lip phone with the [Bm]most obnoxious ri[A]ngtone
I didn't a[G]sk but I can t[A]ell he's from New [D]York
And he spoke [Bm]proudly of his dau[A]ghter and that this f[G]all she'd be in co[G/F#]llege
And that he al[G]ways wished he'd g[A]otten his d[D]egree
You can t[Bm]ell he came from no[A]thing, built a fu[G]ture out of hus[G/F#]tling
And somehow [G]I'm the one you [A]people pay to se[D]e
[G]Oh isn't that ju[D]st the way it goes
You're dealt a good h[A]and and you get celebrat[Bm]ed
[G]Oh how am I the o[D]nly one who knows
I'm half the m[A]an of the men who drive me pl[D]aces[D/C] [Bm] [A] [G] [A] [D]
[D]Danny showed up ea[D/C]rly fifteen mi[Bm]nutes till five t[A]hirty
Making su[G]re that I'd be on[A] my morning fli[D]ght
He said he'd [D]love to fix com[D/C]puters, but that he can[Bm]'t until he's fl[A]uent
So he spends his dr[G]iving money ta[A]king class at [D]night
He wore a ne[Bm]atly ironed dres[A]s shirt and he he[G]lps his kids with [G/F#]homework
And deep in[G]side I couldn't h[A]elp but ask mys[D]elf
Why that at ni[Bm]ght I'm up on st[A]age, every[G]body knows my [G/F#]name
While Danny's ea[G]rly picking [A]up somebody e[D]lse
[G]Oh isn't that j[D]ust the way it goes
You're dealt a good [A]hand and you get c[Bm]elebrated
[G]Oh how am I the o[D]nly one who knows
I'm half the [A]man of the men that drive me p[D]lace[D/C]s[Bm] [A] [G] [A] [D]
And now every[D]thing's not gi[D/C]ven, I work ha[Bm]rd to make my [A]living
But I'll give [G]credit where I th[A]ink credits d[Bm]ue
Maybe y[Bm]ou got dealt a good [A]hand
Maybe you p[G]lay it the best that [G/F#]you can
But I[G] don't know how f[Bm]ar you'd [G]walk without those [A]cards
In [G]Howard and Danny's working[A] shoes
[G]But that's ju[D]st the way it goes
You're dealt a good [A]hand and you get cel[Bm]ebrated
[G]Oh how am I the on[D]ly one who knows
I'm half the ma[A]n of the men that d[D]rive[D/C] me p[Bm]lace[A]s[G] [A] [D]
