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
