D              G             D
ME AND BILLY JOE AND MATY BETH   
                         A                D
WERE RAISED UP ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
                       G                  D
MADE A SOLEMN VOW THAT WE'D ALWAYS BE CLOSE
                   A                 D
AND NEVER WANDER FAR FROM SAWMILL ROAD

                          G                   D
AS THE YEARS WENT BY, THE WORLD BEGAN TO CHANGE 
                    A                   D
ONE BY ONE WE OUTGREW THOSE CHILDHOOD GAMES
                             G                    D
MOMMA COOKED AND CLEANED AMD WORRIED ABOUT OUR SOULS
                     A                    D
WE GOT INTO BEER AND CARS AND ROCK AND ROLL


CHOURUS
        G                         D
WE KNEW JESUS WAS THE ANSWER, AND ELVIS WAS THE KING
              A                                G                      D
"BLUE SUEDE SHOES" AND "ROCK OF AGES" WERE THE SONGS WE LEARNED TO SING
G                               D                   G
INNOCENSE WENT OUT OF STYLE AND WE JUST WATCHED IT GO
D                                  A             D
YESTERDAY GOT LEFT BENEATH, THE DUST OF SAWMILL RD

BILLY JOE WENT TO SIAGON FOR UNCLE SAM
                        A                 D      
NOW I GO TO SEE HIM, HE DON'T KNOW WHO I AM
                    G                D
ONCE A YEAR I GET A CARD FROM MARYBETH
                            A                 D
SHE'S WITH HUSBAND NUMBER FOUR SOMEWHERE OUT WEST

                         G                        D
I STILL LIVE IN THIS OLD HOUSE WHERE WE WERE RAISED
                          A           D
ON THIS DIRT ROAD THE COUNTY NEVER PAIVED
                         G                     D
NOW, I WATCH MY KIDS AND WORRY ABOUT THEIR SOULS
                               A                 D
AND PRAY THEY'LL NEVER WANDER FAR FROM SAWMILL ROAD
