John Anderson - Down In Orange Grove
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1] 
I learned to dArive my daddy's old pickup truck, down in the orange grove 
I'd Anearly get a whippin' when I'd get the truck stuck, down in the orange grove
I wore Dout my first pair of Brogan shoes, down in the orange grove
And tAhat's where I learned how to sing the blues, down in the orange grove 
I Elearned to pray to the lord up above, the vDery first time I ever tasted love was
  ADown in the orange grove, down in the orange grove
[Verse 2] 
You learn the vAalue of a dollar when the sun gets hot, down in the orange grove
The Aboss wants more and you give it all you've got down in the orange grove
We'd have to lDight the smudge pots when it'd come a freeze, down in the orange grove
And Awork all night just to save the trees, down in the orange grove
I nEever will forget all the lessons I learned, or the Dwork I did for the money I earned
  ADown in the orange grove, down in the orange grove
[Solo]
A A A A
D D A A
E D A A
[Verse 3] 
Well the bAig freeze came; now the trees are gone, down in the orange grove
They Acleared the land and they've built new homes, down in the orange grove
Then the Dcanker hit back in '84, down in the orange grove
Now there's sAhopping malls and grocery stores, down in the orange grove
It made a lEot of people happy when the progress came, but dDeep down I know it won't be the same
  ADown in the orange grove, down in the orange grove
  ADown in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

John Anderson - Down In Orange Grove

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I learned to drive my daddy's old pickup truck, down in the orange grove

I'd nearly get a whippin' when I'd get the truck stuck, down in the orange grove

I wore out my first pair of Brogan shoes, down in the orange grove

And that's where I learned how to sing the blues, down in the orange grove

E D

I learned to pray to the lord up above, the very first time I ever tasted love was

Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

[Verse 2]

You learn the value of a dollar when the sun gets hot, down in the orange grove

The boss wants more and you give it all you've got down in the orange grove

We'd have to light the smudge pots when it'd come a freeze, down in the orange grove

And work all night just to save the trees, down in the orange grove

E D

I never will forget all the lessons I learned, or the work I did for the money I earned

Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

[Solo]

A A A A

D D A A

E D A A

[Verse 3]

Well the big freeze came; now the trees are gone, down in the orange grove

They cleared the land and they've built new homes, down in the orange grove

Then the canker hit back in '84, down in the orange grove

Now there's shopping malls and grocery stores, down in the orange grove

E D

It made a lot of people happy when the progress came, but deep down I know it won't be the same

Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove
