.....
[Verse 1]
C
That little league glove, it fit a little snug, it wouldn't even close
B/C Am
But coach said that's how they make 'em son 'cause soon enough
It'll take the shape of your hand
F G
Yeah, you fight that thing when it don't wanna bend
C
Then you break it in
C
That just strung Gibson, sittin' in the window
B/C Am
Laid away every paycheck 'til it had enough to get it home
Played it all night long, every song I wish I wrote
F G
You think it sounds as good as it ever could right then
Then you break it in
[Chorus]
F C
Like these dusty boots, you walk me through
Am G
the work that got me here
F C
And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings
Am G
are worn out all these years
F C
When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss
Am G
There's so much more underneath it all
F G
You think that good is good as it can get
C
Then you break it in
[Verse 2]
C
That pickup truck that my dad picked up had a clutch
B/C Am
Man it took me all summer just to learn how to get the hang
But she loved that thing on all those old back roads
F G
You think good is in ol' manhood and ol' gravel dance
C
Then you break it in
[Chorus]
F C
Like these dusty boots, you walk me through
Am G
the work that got me here
F C
And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings
Am G
are worn out all these years
F C
When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss
Am G
There's so much more underneath it all
F G
You think that good is good as it can get
C
Then you break it in
[Bridge]
C
But trucks break down, and first love ends
G
Life goes on and the world still spins
F G
You find out your heart is stronger when
C
You break it in
[Chorus]
F C
Like these dusty boots, you walk me through
Am G
the work that got me here
F C
And these faded jeans with Skoal can rings
Am G
are worn out all these years
F C
When the shine wears off and you lose that gloss
Am G
There's so much more underneath it all
F G
You think that good is good as it can get
C
Then you break it in
