Intro:
D A/C# Bm G A
D
A couple miles we're almost there
A
Smack dab in the middle of nowhere
Bm G
This old place will always feel like home
D
Man this town has really changed
A
But I swear it feels the same
Bm G
All up and down these roads we roamed
A Bm
I wanna show you
G
The livin' that I've done
A Bm
Just let me show you
G A
Where it is that I come from. Right here!
D A/C#
This is where I discovered love
Bm A
And where I learned about the One above
G A
And where I was young and crazy
D A/C#
This is where I became a man
Bm A
I faced those demons and I took my stand
G A
And where I learned your heart could be broken
D G A
And this is where it all went down
D
This is my old stompin' ground
D A/C# Bm G A
D
Over there's where I played ball
A
Man I felt about ten feet tall
Bm G
When I came up to bat they'd all back up
D
There we'd hide by the light of the moon
A
And hit the cars with the water ballons
Bm G
Right there I swear I rolled my truck
A Bm
I wanna show you
G
The livin' that I've done
A Bm
Just let me show you
G A
Where it is that I come from. Right here!
D A/C#
This is where I discovered love
Bm A
And where I learned about the One above

G A
And where I learned your heart could be broken
D G A
And this is where it all went down

This is my old stompin' ground
Bm F#m
And I'll never lose those feelings or memories
G A
They're a part of me, my legacy. It's my history
D A/C#
This is where I learned to fight
Bm A
I felt the heat until I saw the light
G A
And where I learned that sometimes you don't win
D A/C#
This is where I found my best friend
Bm A
We stuck together through thick and thin
G A
I can't believe the things we did back then
D A/C#
This is where I discovered love
Bm A
And where I learned about the One above
G A
And where I was young and crazy

And this is where it all went down

This is my old stompin' ground My stompin' ground
D A/C# Bm G A D
This is my old stompin' ground My old stompin' ground
