C                C/B    F 
I still running’ 33s up underneath this truck 
           C          C/B                 F 
Even though rush hour concrete’s the only place I’m getting stuck 
C              C/B                   F 
I ain’t on the farm no more but on a stretch of sunny days 
        C                    C/B               F 
I still catch myself looking up at the sky and praying for a little rain 
     C         C/B       F           C    C/B    F 
No I can’t out run these roots, even if I wanted to 
           C               G 
Cause they run too strong, run too deep 
F 
Cuttin’ right through the heart of me 
   C               C/B                 F

There’s still that back home part of me, That can’t help but see things a little different 
               C                   C/B                F 
Like how there ain’t no need about puttin’ a G at the end of Huntin’ or Fishin’ 
      C                      C/B            F 
And I still got Granddaddy’s bible, his ole rifle and his name 
      C            C/B                F 
And I also got his pour a little more coursing through my veins
