(Verse 1)
(A)Seven generations from a dirt road corn crop
(C)Boots ain't ever seen (D)easy street
Where a (A)skeeter gets slapped 'bout as fast a star drops
(C)Roots run deep in this (D)family tree

(Pre-Chorus)
(A)Ooh-(G)ooh, (D)bust your ass, still won't make a killin'
(A)Ooh-(G)ooh, it's a (D)lifestyle, it ain't a livin'

(Chorus)
From the (A)red, white, and blue flyin' (G)high at the farm
To the (D)Boone and Crockett stud on the wall in the barn
Where the (A)magnolias bloom, there's a (G)lab on the lawn
Where your (D)buddy and your boat both (A)got the name John
In (A)God, we trust, De-(G)troit, we rust
(D)Redneck letter testifyin'
From the (A)born in the cut, till the (G)day that I'm dust
(D)I�fma stay country or die tryin' |(A) / / / |(C) / (D) / |

(Verse 2)
I don't (A)do much thinkin' 'bout time in a pine box
(C)Sure as hell ain't (D)scared to go
I'm a (A)hardheaded God, fearin' man from the boondocks
(C)Chisel that s**t on my (D)cobble head stone

(Pre-Chorus)
(A)Ooh-(G)ooh, (D)bible, and an almanac up on the shelf
(A)Ooh-(G)ooh, Daddy prayed for (D)rain, Momma prayed for me to stay out of hell

(Chorus)
From the (A)red, white, and blue flyin' (G)high at the farm
To the (D)Boone and Crockett stud on the wall in the barn
Where the (A)magnolias bloom, there's a (G)lab on the lawn
Where your (D)buddy and your boat both (A)got the name John
In (A)God, we trust, De-(G)troit, we rust
(D)Redneck letter testifyin'
From the (A)born in the cut, till the (G)day that I'm dust
(D)I�fma stay country or die tryin'
