(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(C) / / / |(C) / / / | x 2

(Verse 1)
(C)Everyone seems a damn genius lately, (C)TikTok talking, late-night TV
There's (Am)still so much (G/B)I have yet to (C)know
We (C)get dressed up just to go downtown in some ego-filled, late night crowd
It (Am)seems to be where I (G/B)feel the most a-(C)lone
I'd like to (C)get lost on some old back road, find a shade tree and a honey hole
And (Am)talk to my (G/B)grandpa a-(C)gain
 
(Verse 2)
(C)I see God in everything, trees and pain and nights in spring
So (Am)why do I still (G/B) long for a home? (C)
I'd like to (C)lay in a field on a cozy blanket and feel the fear of never waking
To (Am)know the true (G/B)warmth of the (C)sun
I'd like to (C)love my lady long and hard and lay down lines of laymen guitar
And (Am)never leave (G/B)loving arms (C) again
 
(Verse 3)
My (C)exes hate me and my friends all miss me
I (C)want to drown in rot gut whiskey
And (Am)leave this small (G/B)town for a while (C)
(C)Head to Paris on a late-night flight, find a bar and get in a fight
(Am)Write a few poems on a (G/B)sunny balcony (C)
I (C)want to be a child climbing trees somewhere
(C)Breathing in the fresh, outside air
Be-(Am)fore I knew this (G/B)life was un-(C)kind
I want a (C)well-trained dog and on a couple of acres
A (C)kind, kind lady and a place to take her
And a (Am)few good friends I can (G/B)count on one of my hands (C)
 
(Verse 4)
I (C)know I'm bound to die one day, so when I reach those golden gates
I (Am)pray to say I (G/B)did the best I can (C)
(C)Sit with my mother and the dearly departed
(C)Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted
(Am)Let 'em know it (G/B)all turns out just (C) fine
To (C)know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me
(C)I prefer my nights so lonely
I love (Am)blues guitar, (G/B)muscle cars and gin (C)
 
(Pre-Chorus)
I'm a (C)simple man, I don't need much
Just my (C)simple songs and some human touch
I'm (Am)tired now so I'm (G/B)bringing my ass (C) home
 
(Chorus)
So let me (F)go, down the (Am)line
Let me feel it (G)all, joy, pain and (F) sky
Let me (F)go down the (Am)line
We all (G)burn, burn, burn then (F)die
 
(Chorus)
So let me (F)go, down the (Am)line
I wanna feel it (G)all, joy, pain and (F) sky
Let me (F)go, down the (Am)line
We all (G)burn, burn, burn then (F) die
 
(Chorus)
So let me (F)go, down the (Am)line
I wanna feel it (G)all, joy, pain and (F) sky
Let me (F)go, down the (Am)line
We all (G)burn, burn, burn then (F) die - - - - -
