LYRICS
VERSE 1
Good days, smilin’
Reachin’ for a laugh
Funny stories
Jokin' with my dad
Back then I was
Havin' my fun
And all I did was laugh
CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs
VERSE 2
Sad days, sad times
When life didn't go my way
Nothin' for a job
Had my bills to pay
My only job
Singin’ out those sad, sad songs
Day by day
CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs
BRIDGE
A proud man
I lived my life
Nothin' to do
Just gotta try
I put 'em in my pocket
And bring 'em out today
CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs

This song is a simple song with a cool blues inspired guitar part. A song about a simple man who uses music to get by. The character in the song seems to be living the blues. At 90 beats per minute, the song give a relaxed feel.

In the chorus: E7 – C#7 – A7 – B7 – E7 – C#7 – A7 – B7
Lots of chords but being, mostly, only one chord per measure it ends up being quite simple. Suiting the song idea well. Simple blues for a simple man living the blues.
