[Verse 1]
G
I got up on a Monday morning, feeling mighty fine
C
I walked to the bank, you know I had something in my mind
G
I looked at my balance, it wasn't really much
C
But I got a big idea, now this is what I say
[Chorus]
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A diamond ring, a solid gold car
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A life on the road, a life on tour
[Verse 2]
G
I left my house, I left my wife and kids
C
I'm living on the road, but I'm still living large
G
I'm sleeping in a penthouse suite, eating at the best restaurants
C
And all the ladies want me, but this is what I say
[Chorus]
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A diamond ring, a solid gold car
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A life on the road, a life on tour
[Bridge]
G
My friends ask if I miss it, if I miss my old home
C
I say, "No way, no how, I'm not going back"
G
I'm living the life that I always dreamed of
C
And I'm not going to let anybody take it away from me
[Verse 3]
G
I'm living on the road, I'm living the dream
C
I'm having the time of my life, I'm the king of the world
G
And I don't care what anybody else says
C
This is what I want, this is what I choose
[Chorus]
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A diamond ring, a solid gold car
G
Look what I traded a mansion for
C
A life on the road, a life on tour
