After Gdriving all night Daddy stopped the car
Said, D/F#"Wake up kids, here we are

It Cjust rolled on, on and onD  
EmDaddy crossed the D/F#fence and he knelt Cdown
EmFilled his hands with D/F#rich farmland and Csaid
N.C.
"This is good ground"
I Ghad it all underneath my feet
There was D/F#room to grow - there was time to breathe
And Emdreams stretched high under Dsummer skies
This is Gwhere I'm from - this is who I am
D/F#Down these roads I became a man
And they're Emcalling me - where my Droots run deep

GMama had me diggin' in her flower bed
D/F#There it was an arrowhead
And all I Cwanted to be, was CherokeeD  
GSeasons change and childhood goes
D/F#I laid down my homemade bow for a Cbrown-eyed girl
She changed my worldD  
EmI learned to D/F#drive so we could Cride around
EmWe made the D/F#sweetest memor Cies in it
N.C.
On good ground
I Ghad it all underneath my feet
There was D/F#room to grow - there was time to breathe
And Emdreams stretched high under Dsummer skies
This is Gwhere I'm from - this is who I am
D/F#Down these roads I became a man
And they're Emcalling me where my Droots run deep
G/BDeep Cdown - Dthis is good ground
I Gdrove all night then I stopped the car
Said, D/F#"Wake up kids, here we are
This is Cour new home
It's been too long"D  
GCrossed that fence and I knelt down
Said, D/F#"Everybody gather 'round
                    CN.C.
Hold out your hands, this is good ground"
You've Ggot it all underneath your feet
There's D/F#room to grow - there's time to breathe
