Intro.: |(G) |(D) |(C) |(C)
(G)Shotgun in my daddy's truck, eight years old and acting tough
He (C)smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears"
(G)He would search that FM dial and I would count down every mile
Til the (C)station out of Tulsa came in clear
(Pre-Chorus)
It was (Em)Earl Thomas Conley on the (D)radio
It (C)punched me in the gut, man, it (A7)rattled my soul
(Chorus)
I'm talking bout a (G)good (D)country song
(Em) Makes you smile, makes you hurt, (C) leaves you hanging on every word
A (G)good (D)country song
(Em) Makes you love, makes you leave, (C)raise some hell or hit your knees
(Em)All I know is I think of home, grab (D)my guitar and strum along
(G)Kick on back and sip me something (A7)strong
When I hear a (A7)good (D)country (G)song (D)
While (G)hip-hop, rap, and rock were cool, I was in my basement getting schooled
On (C)George and Keith and Vernon Alabama
I was (G)learning bout those neon lights, wasted days and wasted nights
And (C)honky-tonks from Texas to Montana
(Pre-Chorus)
And when my (Em)fingers found the fret board, I (D)close my eyes and sing
I (C)swear that beat up guitar only (A7)played one thing
(Chorus)
I'm talking bout a (G)good (D)country song
(Em) Makes you smile, makes you hurt, (C) leaves you hanging on every word
A (G)good (D)country song
(Em) Makes you love, makes you leave, (C)raise some hell or hit your knees
(Em)All I know is I think of home, grab (D)my guitar and strum along
(G)Kick on back and sip me something (A7)strong
When I hear a (A7)good (D)country (C)song / / / |(G) |(C) |(D) / /
(Bridge)
Yeah, it (Em)makes me think of days long gone, (D/F#)miss my dad and call my mom
(G)Cry and laugh and pray and drink til (A7)dawn - - -
