C 
Oh country roads swerving  
F 
Singing along to the roustabouts 
      Am       G           F 
I'll never forget where I came from 
C                     F     
Misdirected youth passionately devout  
        Am         
To the city I hold dearly 
          G               F 
But everyone talks shit about 
        Am 
And I hear talks about leaving  
       G 
Me, I never wanted out 
           Am              G               F 
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town 
       Am                              G                       Am  G  F 
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world 
                          Am  G      F 
Never thinking about what we would become  
         C    F              C 
We were young impressionable kids 
        Am                      G                    F 
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this 
         C    F              C 
And our dreams they were our future 
Am     G             F        Am      G                F 
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be 
       Am 
We'll shake our fists at the morning sun 
          G                       C 
Singing "glory glory hallelujah!" 
      Am                              G      
And I would give anything to feel the way I did back then 
      Am 
And I hear talks about leaving  
       G 
But I never wanted out 
           Am              G               F 
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town 
       Am                              G                       Am  G  F 
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world 
                          Am  G      F 
Never thinking about what we would become  
         C    F              C 
We were young impressionable kids 
        Am                      G                    F 
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this 
         C    F              C 
And our dreams they were our future 
Am     G             F        Am      G                F 
And as far as I can see we'll be whatever we choose to be
