Tom: E E A E A [Verse 1] E If I could never age a day past senior year A I'd still be burnin' up fuel in that rear view mirror E A Yelling to my buddies, "Hey man, no cop, no stop" You know that's right E We was crankin' up the dial jammin' Rocky Top A Hidin' all our pot in our truck toolbox E A Saying, "Bubba I think we're good, they ain't gonna check there" But if they do E But if the blue lights come I'll be steppin' on the gas A Feelin' like Earnhardt goin' Talladega fast E With my heart a racin' like it's lookin' for a checkered flag N.C. But all you're gonna catch is [Chorus] E Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane A E Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on A In John Deere green (John Deere green) E When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow A And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road E A That's what I call home (I call home) E A Just livin' in a country song Just livin' in a country song [Verse 2] E Rusty old trucks from the senior class A With ripped American flags wavin' in the back E A With an exhaust so loud that it will shake my whole town (Oh yeah it would) E With the CD skippin' 'cause we done burnt it up A Jammin' flyin' down a back road while we was on the road E A Leavin' black marks somewhere in small town USA (USA) E It was "Hey baby girl, do you need my Carhartt? A Yeah it's gettin' kinda cold I'm trying to break your heart" E In a square body Chevy painted up like the General Lee N.C So we can let the cops see [Chorus] E Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane A E Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on A In John Deere green (John Deere green) E When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow A And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road E A That's what I call home (I call home) E A Just livin' in a country song Just livin' in a country song [Verse 3] E Billy Bob loved Charlene and I used to love just runnin' roads A The smell of freedom on two bare feet with a mix dried up cedar logs E Mama knew I was creek bound, south side Cheatham river rat A With hair too long and big old letters that read backwoods across my back E Sunburnt to a red crisp, skin peelin' like every week A Sneakin' outta my bedroom window, man we thought we super slick E Smokin' Paw Paw's Black & Milds, drenched in A&F Cologne A Tryin' to cover up that weekend smell from all that marijuana smoke E Mama tried, Jesus watched, God laughed and Satan helped A What you expect? I grew up in a house that bumped the Charlie Daniels Band E So if you catch me in Georgia I got the golden fiddle A N.C And I'm chasin' the dream and outrunnin' that old devil with [Chorus] E Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane A E Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on A In John Deere green (John Deere green) E When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow A And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road E A That's what I call home (I call home) E A Just livin' in a country song E Just livin' in a country song
