:Verse 1:

G D Em C G D C

Everyday someone asks me what’s my story and what do I like to do

G D Em C G D C

And everyday, for the most part, I only go so far; I almost never tell the truth

G D Em C G D C

‘Cause the truth is behind me there’s not much, to give up, I like simple, not complicated

:Chorus:

C G D Em C

(‘Cause) I’m a small town kid, driven by rock music And some honky-tonk, in the mix

G D Em C

I like whiskey in coke, a double to the top, a shot of cuervo now and then

G D Em C G

I never ask for a lot, I’ll never need much, just a good-looking lady who can drive my truck

G D C D G

I’m not afraid to admit, I’m that small town kid

Bridge

D Em C G D C G

City lights, yellow cabs, Yankee hats, Suits and ties everywhere

These City folks, they look at me in my shirt and jeans, they make me think I don’t fit in here

Well the things they say might be right, they might be so but one thing I know: I

can’t change who I am

They won't change me

A hundred thousand miles

Mean nothing to me
