[C]Well it's a great life if you [A7]don't weaken
[D7]But who wants to be [C]strong
Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million
I [F]just want enough to get [C]by
Like a checking account in two or three banks
And a [D7]yellow Cadillac to [G7]drive
To go [C]sporting around with two or three red-heads
Or [F]maybe take a blond [C]along
It's a great life if you [A7]don't weaken
[D7]But who wants to be [C]strong
Just gimme my money in cold hard cash
And [F]get my guitar in [C]tune
And get me a date with a pretty little thing
And I'll [D7]be barking at the [G7]moon
Don't [C]want more than anybody else
Just [F]takes more for me to get [C]along
It's a great life if you [A7]don't weaken
[D7]But who wants to be [C]strong
It's the [F]simple things in life that really matters
And [C]I'm a pretty simple guy
Just [F]give me a house a swimming pool
And a [G7]little sport plane to fly
It [C]don't take much to satisfy me
I'm a [F]country boy trying to get [C]along
It's a great life if you [A7]don't weaken
But [D7]w-ho [G7]wants to be [C]strong
Well it's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong
Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million
I just want enough to get by
Like a checking account in two or three banks
And a yellow Cadillac to drive
To go sporting around with two or three red-heads
Or maybe take a blond along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong
Just gimme my money in cold hard cash
And get my guitar in tune
And get me a date with a pretty little thing
And I'll be barking at the moon
Don't want more than anybody else
Just takes more for me to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But who wants to be strong
It's the simple things in life that really matters
And I'm a pretty simple guy
Just give me a house a swimming pool
And a little sport plane to fly
It don't take much to satisfy me
I'm a country boy trying to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken
But w-ho wants to be strong
