Capo 4.
[Intro]
C G D Em C G D
[Verse 1]
It was Claying pennies on the Grail's and Dsneaking off to chew EmRed Man
It was a CFriday night win and Gfollowed by a Saturday Dbruise
It was a Cfirst Blue Ribbon my Gdad and I drank, Dbaptized on EmGlenville lake
A Ctear in our eyes the night we Glost all we had to Dlose
[Chorus]
That tGobacco town where I grew up
The Ctailgate down on a jacked up truck
A Emring we earned cause we owned that state
A Dtombstone with my daddy's name
Now tGhe six string dream on a crazy course
Has Cgot my compass losing North
And I Emneed someone to Dremind me who I Cam
Oh, Carolina canC  G  D  Em  C  G  D  
[Verse 2]
It was Cfaded blue denim on GFranklin Street
A D"He's Not" buzz, a Emhouse band beat
It was a Csummer heat dragging mGe to a fifth year Dfall
It was Cclasses skipped cause the Groom couldn't teach
What we Dlearned three days on EmWrightsville beach
With my Chigh school love, Gshort hair
And that sweet Dhometown southern drawl
[Chorus]
That tGobacco town where I grew up
The Ctailgate down on a jacked up truck
A Emring we earned cause we owned that state
A Dtombstone with my daddy's name
Now tGhe six string dream on a crazy course
Has Cgot my compass losing North
And I Emneed someone to Dremind me who I Cam
Yeah, Carolina cCanG  D  Em  C  G  D  
[Bridge]
Now Ctwo time zones, Gten states away
DAnother night, Emanother show to play
Well Chey Mr. Taylor, Gshe ain't only Don your mind
[Chorus]
That tGobacco town where I grew up
The Ctailgate down on a jacked up truck
A Emring we earned cause we owned that state
A Dtombstone with my daddy's name
Now tGhe six string dream on a crazy course
Has Cgot my compass losing North
And I Emneed someone to Dremind me who I Cam

Capo 4.

[Intro]

C G D Em C G D

[Verse 1]

C G D Em

It was laying pennies on the rail's and sneaking off to chew Red Man

C G D

It was a Friday night win and followed by a Saturday bruise

C G D Em

It was a first Blue Ribbon my dad and I drank, baptized on Glenville lake

C G D

A tear in our eyes the night we lost all we had to lose

[Chorus]

That tobacco town where I grew up

The tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

Now the six string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

Em D C

And I need someone to remind me who I am

C G D Em C G D

Oh, Carolina can

[Verse 2]

C G

It was faded blue denim on Franklin Street

D Em

A "He's Not" buzz, a house band beat

C G D

It was a summer heat dragging me to a fifth year fall

C G

It was classes skipped cause the room couldn't teach

D Em

What we learned three days on Wrightsville beach

C G

With my high school love, short hair

And that sweet hometown southern drawl

[Chorus]

That tobacco town where I grew up

The tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

Now the six string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

Em D C

And I need someone to remind me who I am

C G D Em C G D

Yeah, Carolina can

[Bridge]

C G

Now two time zones, ten states away

D Em

Another night, another show to play

C G D

Well hey Mr. Taylor, she ain't only on your mind

[Chorus]

That tobacco town where I grew up

The tailgate down on a jacked up truck

A ring we earned cause we owned that state

A tombstone with my daddy's name

Now the six string dream on a crazy course

Has got my compass losing North

Em D C

And I need someone to remind me who I am

C G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D
