INTRO:
C
I grew up workin' on a farm way down south
G G7
I went to school against my will way down south
C F
I kissed girls and I shot squirrels out behind my house
C G C
I learned a lot about this world way down south
C
I went to church, sang a lot of hymns, way down south
G G7
I learned to work on my pick-up truck way down south
C F
I played my guitar under the stars out behind our house
C G C
You will always find my heart way down south
CHORUS:
F C G C
Clothes on the clothes line hangin' in the sunshine, a garden growin' in the ground
F C D G7
Country music on the radio, talk about a goold ol' sound
F C G C
People drivin' past when I'm cuttin' grass, wavin' at every single one
F C G C
That's the way it's done when you come from way down south
G C
Way down south
F C G C
(2x)
C
Swimmin' in the creek with all my friends way down south
G G7
Prayin' them days would never end, way down south
C F
Give me a worm and a fishin' pole, I'll pull the fish on out
C G C
Those memories will never get old way down south
CHORUS:
F C G C
Clothes on the clothes line hangin' in the sunshine, a garden growin' in the ground
F C D G7
Country music on the radio, talk about a good ol' sound
F C G C
People drivin' past when I'm cuttin' grass, wavin' at every single one
F C G C
That's the way it's done when you come from way down south

That's the way it's done when you come from way down south
