 A   E   B   E   A   E   E   B   E(Just like chorus)
[Verse 1]
 BDeep down in the pines where the world has forEgotten was still alive
Where the Bdirt roads twist along for Eno more than a mile
Where the Aold man’s bar marks the center of town, and the Ecounty was never dry
(E)                                                                             B  E  
Where the people will go, where the people will stay, Where they live until they die
[Verse 2]
BWell I knew a guy, his name was Ricky McCoy, An Eass kicking bass fishing good ol’ boy
BAnd he can build a fire in 10 seconds flat, And Ehe can ride a bull even longer than that
Well he was Aonly 15 when he dropped out of school, he said ‘I Enever been a genius, but I ain’t no fool
(E)                                                                             B  E  
I know what I want, and I’mma get it in life, and I ain’t never gonna leave this place’
[Chorus]
He said ‘AMan I ain’t never gonna leave this place, it’s Ewhere I’s (was) born, It’s where I’s raised
And Bwhen I’m old on my dying bed I Epray this is where I’m gonna lay my head
I Agot me a town I can call my home, I Egot me a place I can call my own
(E)                                                                   B  E  
I told you once and I’mma say it again: I ain’t never gonna leave this place’
[Verse 3]
Well BJessie was a young girl who grew up fast, she Eused to make her money lying down on her back
Her Bdaddy drank whiskey till he’s numb in the head, he’d Ebeat her every night until the day he was dead
Well she was Ajust an only child with nowhere to go, in the Esame square mile where her seeds were sewn
(E)                                                                                  B  E  
‘If there’s more to life, I guess I’ll never know cause I ain’t ever gonna leave this place’
[Chorus]
She said ‘AMan I ain’t never gonna leave this place, it’s Ewhere I’s born, It’s where I’s raised
And Bwhen I’m old on my dying bed I Epray this is where I’m gonna lay my head
I Agot me a town I can call my home, I Egot me a place I can call my own
(E)                                                                   B  E  
I told you once and I’mma say it again: I ain’t never gonna leave this place’
[Chorus]
AMan I ain’t never gonna leave this place, it’s Ewhere I’s born, It’s where I’s raised
And Bwhen I’m old on my dying bed I Epray this is where I’m gonna lay my head
I Agot me a town I can call my home, I Egot me a place I can call my own
(E)                                                                   B  E
