[Intro]
C  G  F  C
[Verse]
CSome kids grew up on mean streets
Dealin' with the crips and bloods
But me I was born on a back road
In a F4X4 Bbrollin' through the Cmud
The street kid deals with the dealer
And he's always watchin' his back
Me, I'm watchin' a line, with a woman of mine
FDown by the Bbcreek bank Cshack
CGive me .308 and a shotgun
And a Bbgallon of Fhomemade Cwine
Drop me off on a mountainside
Where the Gbear and the deer reside
I'll Bbspend my nights sittin' Fround the fire
BbMakin' this Fguitar Cring
I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines
While the Bbworld goes dGown the dCrain
[Verse 2]
CJust to dwell on life in the city
Is makin' my blood run cold
'Cause miles and miles of concrete
Eats aFway at the Bbhuman Csoul
CWhen you live and die in the country
There's a little that your heart can mourn
With your hands in the dirt and a little work
You can Fweather Bbout any Cstorm
[Instrumental]

[Intro]

C G F C

[Verse]

Some kids grew up on mean streets

Dealin' with the crips and bloods

But me I was born on a back road

F Bb C

In a 4X4 rollin' through the mud

The street kid deals with the dealer

And he's always watchin' his back

Me, I'm watchin' a line, with a woman of mine

F Bb C

Down by the creek bank shack

Give me .308 and a shotgun

Bb F C

And a gallon of homemade wine

Drop me off on a mountainside

Where the bear and the deer reside

Bb F

I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire

Bb F C

Makin' this guitar ring

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines

Bb G C

While the world goes down the drain

[Verse 2]

Just to dwell on life in the city

Is makin' my blood run cold

'Cause miles and miles of concrete

F Bb C

Eats away at the human soul

When you live and die in the country

There's a little that your heart can mourn

With your hands in the dirt and a little work

F Bb C

You can weather out any storm

[Instrumental]
