The Men That Drive Me Places Ben Rector
Capo 2
Intro: C Em Am G F
[C]Howard drives a m[Em]inivan with the cru[Am]ise ships from Ft.[G] Lauderdale
And it'[F]s been that way sinc[G]e 1994[C]
Does h[C]is business on a f[Em]lip phone with the most[Am] obnoxious ring[G]tone
I didn't [F]ask but I can tell[G] he's from New York[C]
And he spoke p[Am]roudly of his daugh[G]ter and that this[F] fall she'd be[C] in college
And that he alway[Dm]s wished he'd go[G]tten his deg[Am]ree
You can te[Am]ll he came fr[G]om nothing, bu[F]ilt a future out o[C]f hustling
And somehow I[Dm]'m the one y[G]ou people pay to [C]see
(Chorus)
[F]Oh isn't that j[C]ust the way it goes
You're dealt a goo[G]d hand and you get cel[Am]ebrated
[F]Oh how am I the only[C] one who knows
I'm half the man[Dm] of the men who [G]drive me place[C]s[(] [C] [Em] [Am] [G] [F] [)]
[C]Danny showed u[Em]p early fiftee[Am]n minutes till f[G]ive thirty
Making su[F]re that I'd be on[G] my morning flight[C]
He said he'd[C] love to fix [Em]computers, but t[Am]hat he can't until he's[G] fluent
So he sp[F]ends his driving money t[G]aking class at night[C]
He wore a ne[Am]atly ironed dress shi[G]rt and he helps his ki[F]ds with homework[C]
And deep i[Dm]nside I couldn't h[G]elp but ask mys[Am]elf
Why t[Am]hat at night I'm up on[G] stage, everybody [F]knows my n[C]ame
While Dann[Dm]y's early pick[G]ing up somebody el[C]se
(Chorus)
[F]Oh isn't that just the [C]way it goes
You'r[G]e dealt a good hand and you get [Am]celebrated
[F]Oh how am I the only one [C]who knows
I'm[Dm] half the man o[G]f the men that driv[C]e me pl[(]ace[C]s[Em] [Am] [G] [F] [)]
(Bridge)
And now everyt[Am]hing's not give[G]n, I work hard t[F]o make my l[C]iving
But I'll gi[Dm]ve credit where [G]I think credi[Am]ts due
Maybe yo[Am]u got dealt a goo[G]d hand
Maybe you [F]play it the best that you[C] can
But I don't k[Dm]now how far [Am]you'd walk [Dm]without tho[Am]se cards
In How[G]ard and Danny's working shoes
B[F]ut that's just the wa[C]y it goes
You're dealt a g[G]ood hand and you get c[Am]elebrated
[F]Oh how am I the only [C]one who knows
I'm ha[Dm]lf the man[G] of the men that drive m[C]e places
(Outro) C Em Am G F - C Em Am G F C* (optional)
