Things Are Fixin' to Get Real Good

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 then
 Things are fixin' to get real good
 In them 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
 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 and
 Things are fixin' to get real good
 In them 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 them 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
 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
