C
Oh country roads swerving
F C
Singing along to the roustabouts
Am G F
I'll never forget where I came from
C G
Misdirected youth passionately devout
Am G
To the city I hold dearly
F G
But everyone talks shit about
Am
And I hear talks about leaving
G
Me, I never wanted out
C G F
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
Am G C G F
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
Am G F
Never thinking about what we would become
[Chorus]
C
We were young
F C
impressionable kids
Am G F
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
C
And our dreams
F C
They were our future
Am G F Am G C F C G
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be

Singing "glory glory hallelujah!"
