(Verse 1)
You can (G)leave black marks (C)barkin' down a two-lane
But (G)man we did the same thing when (D)it was just dirt

But your (D)gonna have to (G)cover mine first

(Verse 2)
And that (G)bonfire spot y'all (C)got
I lit the first log (G)out in that old (D)field
You can be the (G)guy that buys all the (C)shine from me
Hell, (Em)I'll help (D)build the (G)steel

Man, we (Em)wrote the (D)book around (G)here
We put the (G)rock in the roll, the (C)roll in the stone
A (G)whole lot of cold in (D)beer
Put the (G)shot in the sign, the (C)all in the night
Yeah, (Em)we wrote the (D)book around (G)here

(Verse 3)
You can (G)talk that talk, 'bout your (C)young buck crew
'Fore you (G)run your mouth and get (D)knocked out your boots

Got the (Em)shirt and the (D)tattoo (G)too
