C 
Everyone seems a damn genius lately 

Tik-tok talking, late-night TV 
 Am              G           C 
Still so much I have yet to know 

C 
We get dressed up just to go downtown 

In some ego-filled late night crowd 
    Am                  G          C 
It seems to be where I feel most alone 

C 
I'd like to get lost on some old back road 

Find a shade tree and a honey hole 
     Am           G      C 
And talk to my grandpa again 

    C 
And I see God in everything 

The trees and pain and nights in the spring 
    Am        G                C 
So why do I still long for a home? 

C 
I'd like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket 

And feel the fear of never wakin' 
Am                  G           C 
To know the true warmth of the sun 

C 
I'd like to love my lady long and hard 

And lay down lines of laymen guitar 
 Am               G           C       
Never leave her loving arms again 

C 
My exes hate me and my friends all miss me 

I wanna drown in a rot gut whiskey 
Am                 G         C 
Leave this small town for awhile 

C 
Heading to Paris on a late-night flight 

Find a bar and get in a fight 
Am                      G         C 
Write a few poems on a sunny balcony 

C 
I wanna be a child climbing trees somewhere 

Breathing in the fresh outside air 
Am                      G          C 
And before I knew this life was unkind 

C 
I want a well-trained dog on a couple of acres 

A kind, kind lady and a place to take her 
Am                        G                 C 
Few good friends I can count on one of my hands 

C 
I know I'm bound to die one day 

So when I reach those golden gates 
Am               G              C 
I pray to say I did the best I can 

C 
Sit with my mother and the dearly departed 

Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted 
Am                 G                C 
Let 'em know it all turns out just fine 

C 
To know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me 

I prefer my nights so lonely 
Am                    G              C 
Love blues guitar, muscle cars, and gin 

C 
I'm a simple man, I don't need much 

Just my simple songs and some human touch 
Am                       G             C 
I'm tired now, so I'm bringin' my ass home 

Am         F           C 
So let me go down the line 
                G 
Let me feel it all 
                Am 
Joy, pain, and sky 

Am          F           C 
So let me go down the line 
         G                   Am 
We all burn, burn, burn and die 

Am         F           C 
So let me go down the line 
                G 
Let me feel it all 
                Am 
Joy, pain, and sky 

Am          F           C 
So let me go down the line 
         G                   Am 
We all burn, burn, burn and die 

Am         F           C 
So let me go down the line 
                G 
Let me feel it all 
                Am 
Joy, pain, and sky 

Am          F           C 
So let me go down the line 
         G                   Am 
We all burn, burn, burn and die
