Things Are Fixin? To Get Real Good
By Deryl Dodd
[G]I moved to Nashville back in ?91
I was [Em]hopin for heaven but I met the Devil?s son
David [D]Allan Coe was right ?bout a long hard ride
Hell you [C]ought to see the little red [D]truck I drive
[G]Well I refused to be something I?m not
So I [Em]didn?t make the Music City News a lot
[D]But I don?t give a damn about that now
Cause some [C]people like the way I [D]sound
Chorus:
[G]Things are fixin? to get real good
In the [Em]honky tonks you know I?m understood
[D]I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and
[C]Things are fixin to [D]get real [G]good
I made a lot of good friends they came from all around
We chased women and dreams while searching for a sound
But we sank right down the musical tubes
Getting lost in the crowd and drinkin? too much booze
Lord knows I done a lot of things wrong
But I wrote em all down in my country songs
Sometimes you gotta go to hell and back
Just to know where you?re at
Chorus
Chorus
Yeah I?ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
And things are fixin? to get real good
Yeah they are
I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood
Things are fixin? to get real good
