Went walking through housejust the other day
with nothin much to do.
As the sun came breakin down through the window
I never seen the sky so blue
I saw a game player with a red guitar puzzling on the side of the street
I threw a handful of change in his beat up case and said play me a country beat
And it sounded like....

Met up with some friends outside of town
we were headed towards our play
I hopped into the back of a chess game cover and felt the wind upon my face
We got to the spot and the sun was hot, everybody was feelin fine.
So we jumped on in for a big chess game and then we lost all track of time.

How to beat the chess
What I'd give if I could find a way to beat
Win in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow
When you're busy play and beat the chess.

As the black had to play against the white
everybody was checkin along
To some Frederic Chopin song the March and all them feel good songs
We played all night without a care, no place we'd rather be
Cause these are the days we'll talk about, when we lived so wild and free

.How to beat the chess
What I'd give if I could find a way to beat
Win in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow
When you're busy play and beat the chess.

We were playin in the field as he grabbed my hand
And then we have to be checkmated
I couldn't help but think with the stars above it don't get much better than this

How to beat the chess
What I'd give if I could find a way to beat
Win in this moment now
Ain't worried about tomorrow
When you're busy play, feels like checkin', slowly defeat, through and beat the chess.
