(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / / / |

(Verse 1)
(D)I left behind those city streets
For a (G)small town (D/F#)boy in his (D)grandma's ring
(D)White picket fence in a front porch swing
(G)Hand me down (D/F#)catching that (D)newfound dream
I (G)wasn't born with (D)roots in the ground (A)
But I (G)brought 'em with me and (D)handing them (A) down

(Verse 2)
And down at (D)Ron's Diner, they're spilling the tea
But it's the (C)best cherry (Bm)pie in (D)all of Willow Springs
(D)Married in the church, baptized in the creek
(C)Friday night (Bm)lights up the (D)end of the week
I (G)wasn't born with (D)roots in the ground (A)
But she can (C)bet I'll be (Bm)sticking (A) around

(Chorus)
Ain't got a (G)money tree (D)growing in (A) New York
But there's a (C)dollar store (G) right down (D) the street
(C)I just wanna (G)be (D)anywhere you ar„u
Hands (C)in the dirt, (G)planting new (A) seeds
Some (Em)p„uople can't (D/F#)wait to get out (G)
Oh, but (C)I married (G)into this town (D)
God (C)knows where I'd be right (G)now
If you (C)hadn't brought (G)me to this (D) town

(Outro.)
(C)Oh, (G)oh, (D)oh - - - - -
