Em                   C             G
I’ve never been a cool hand Luke;
                        D/F#
the quarterback of the winnin' team
Em                   C
Or the guy with the right kind of punchlines
G                  D/F#
everybody wants to be
Em                C                       G
I never was that lucky ol’ cuss with a straight
             D/F#
flush in his hand
             Em   D C
Oh, but with you, I am.

I ain’t no Patrick Swayze,
my old boots never danced on air
Never walked with a swag looking sharp as a tack
Lit up like Times Square
Who’s that guy with a big old smile as wide
as the Rio Grande
Oh, with you I am

Chorus:
C                  G                  D
Strong as an oak, soft like leather, high as a pine,
 Em
an' light as a feather
     C                   G                   D
The same ol’ boy but a whole lot better, whenever
you’re holdin’ my hand
  C                         G
I used to poke fun at them punch drunk lovers
   Em                D       C
I never thought I’d be that man,
              Em D/F# C
Oh, but with you I  am,
              Em  D/F#
Oh, baby with you I
Em C G D/F#
am.

I’ve always been a “do it my way” drifter
Another highway, another town
Never thought 'bout that little white house
With a porch all the way around
Yeah I never saw me on
a swing talking sweet talking dreams
But I’ll be damned
With you I am

Chorus:
Strong as an oak, soft like leather
High as a pine and light as a feather
The same ol' boy but a whole lot better
Whenever you’re holding my hand
I used to poke fun at them punch-drunk lovers
I never thought I’d be that man
Oh baby with you, I am

Strong as an oak, soft like leather
High as a pine and light as a feather
The same ol' boy but a whole lot better
Whenever you’re holding my hand
I used to poke fun at them punch-drunk lovers
I never thought I’d be that man
Oh baby with you, I am
Oh baby with you, I am
With you, I am
