The Last American

Ryan Culwell


Tom: C

C
I’m the last American
C
On this earth
C
I’d like to quit this talking
   Em
Get back to work

Am
You don’t understand me

That’s cause we are not the same
G
You may recognize me

But you don’t know my name

[Chorus]
         Am
I got my old man’s heart
      G          C
And a broke down Chevrolet

[Verse 2]
C
I took this job
C
Cause they need the hands

I got mouths to feed
     Em
And I’m a man

Am
You can have anything you want

This is the land of the free
G
I got everything I asked for

On the day I turned sixteen

[Chorus]
         Am
I got my old man’s heart
      G          C
And a broke down Chevrolet

[Bridge]
Em            Am
Oh, you can’t take it any longer
Em             Am
Oh, what don’t kill you

Makes you jump into your car and drive away
       C                                 G
If you ever wonder what makes some men stay

[Chorus]
         Am
I got my old man’s heart
      G          C
And a broke down Chevrolet

[Verse 3]
C
See I was born
C
On the edge of town

You wouldn’t know it
          Em
There’s a school there now

             Am
They tell em you can be anything you want

And I believe that’s a fact
    G
But what you give away

You ain’t never getting back

[Chorus]
          Am
I got my old man’s heart
      G          C
And a broke down Chevrolet

[Verse 4]
C
Guess I’ll vote the ticket

Like i always do

If I can figure out
    Em
Who to stick it to

Am
You can keep asking your questions

If you think it’s going to help
   G
Do I believe in God

Mister you go straight to hell

[Chorus]
         Am
I got my old man’s heart
      C          G
And a broke down Chevrolet
