[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
I don't like sleepin' in and rushin' off to work
C
I don't like people who ain't actin' out their words
             F
I don't like jeans that fit too tight
    C
And fish that don't bite
    Am                                F
And gettin' thrown and landin' in the dirt
             C
I don't like dogs inside layin' on my bed
C
And people messin' with the words in red
             F
I don't like flashin' engine lights
    C
And walkin' away from fights
      Am                              F
And a lot of words in anger that I've said


[Chorus]
           G
But I like Jesus and Jones
    F              C
And turnin' off my phone
    G                                   F
And layin' on the ground starin' at the moon
                                 C
I like sittin' in the saddle and brandin' my cattle
    Dm                       G
And as the sun is settin', a beer or two
    Dm                  G               C
And layin' back with my woman when each day is through


[Verse 2]
C
I don't like how many men are takin' their own lives
C
'Cause the world told them to keep it all inside
            F
But if they touch a girl or child
        C
You can read me my rights
     Am                              F
It's just the way I am and that's no lie


[Chorus]
             G
Yeah, I like Jesus and Jones
    F              C
And turnin' off my phone
    G                                   F
And layin' on the ground starin' at the moon
                                 C
I like sittin' in the saddle and brandin' my cattle
    Dm                       G
And as the sun is settin', a beer or two
    Dm                  G               C
And layin' back with my woman when each day is through


[Instrumental Break]
F  C  F  G


[Bridge]
G
Yeah, I like standin' up for right
    F              C               G                                 F
And stayin' up all night around an old campfire sharin' songs and 90 proof
                            C                         Dm
I like wide open spaces and my lady's face when she's snuggled up and I'm leavin'
               G
'Cause there's work to do
    Dm                    G
And layin' back with that woman


[Chorus]
G
I like Jesus and Jones
    F              C
And turnin' off my phone
    G                                   F
And layin' on the ground starin' at the moon
                                 C
I like sittin' in the saddle and brandin' my cattle
    Dm                       G
And as the sun is settin', a beer or two
    Dm                  G               C
And layin' back with my woman when each day is through


[Outro]
            Dm                            G
No, I ain't got it all figured out, but I think I do
         Dm                    G               C
When I'm layin' back with that woman when each day is through
