verse 1 I moved to Nashville back in ‘91 I was hopin for heaven but I met the Devil’s son David Allan Coe was right ‘bout a long hard ride Hell you ought to see the little red truck I drive Well I refused to be something I’m not So I didn’t make the Music City News a lot But I don’t give a damn about that now Cause some people like the way I sound Things are fixin’ to get real good In the honky tonks you know I’m understood I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and Things are fixin to get real good verse 2 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 Things are fixin’ to get real good In the honky tonks you know I’m understood I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and Things are fixin to get real good Things are fixin’ to get real good In the honky tonks you know I’m understood I been to the school of hard knocks and hardwood and Things are fixin to get real good Outro Yeah I’ve done my dance on sawdust and hardwood And things are fixin’ to get real good N.C. Yeah they are I have done my dance on sawdust and hardwood Things are fixin’ to get real good
