[Chorus]
D5 F G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
Dm Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
F Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
Dm Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
F G
The old days, when love was real
Dm Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
F G
The old days, those days are gone
Dm Dm F G Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call home, oh yeah
[Verse]
Dm F G
There's a bridge on River Road where I painted my name
Dm Dm D
With a couple of buddies with John Deere spray paint
F G
We used to smoke on the green after the sun hit the hay
Dm Dm
And made it home by nine or daddy's temper would blaze
F G
In them high-school front doors, shit we was straight out the back
Dm Dm
Sittin' in a deer stand chewin' Redman up by the pack
F G
Them straight pipes on the 5.7 made us feel badass
Dm Dm
Sittin' in the senior parkin' lot crankin' up Johnny Cash
F G
My grades, they wasn't great, but my heart is nothin' but gold
Dm Dm
Hospitality's priceless, it ain't 'bout tradin' a soul
F G
So before you judge my cover, won't you dive in my soul
Dm Dm
And learn I'm from another life, I'm like 200 years old
[Chorus]
Dm F G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
Dm Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
F Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
Dm Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
F G
The old days, when love was real
Dm Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
F G
The old days, those days are gone
Gm Dm Dm F G Dm Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah
F G Dm
Oooooh yeeeeeeah
[Verse 2]
Dm F G Gm
When I show up to a show, everybody knows I'm fuckin' there
Dm Dm
Walk by like I'm stuck in silence, let the folks with cameras stare
F G Gm
I'm there to put my county on, with muddy water in my veins
Dm Dm
Countless nights on Indian Springs, prayin' I would catch my dream
F Gm
When Paw Paw went to heaven, let me tell you, I was lost in life
Dm Dm D
Almost got fronted them pounds to help keep on my families lights
F G
But then I walked to a church in the midst of the night
Dm Dm
Put some tears on the tulips and the creation was bright
F G
And I knew at that very moment the fight I's about to pick involved
Dm Dm
Cowboy boots, guitars and not givin' a shit
D F G
So let me write to the beat of my two clickin' Tony Lama's
Dm D5
Live in a trailer with my family and a few saved up dollars
N.C.
Church
[Chorus]
F G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
Dm Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
F Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
Dm Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
F G
The old days, when love was real
Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
F Gm
The old days, those days are gone
Dm F G Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah
