You can drive around all day long and never get off of the dirt road
E A
Miles of caliche highway, sippin on a cool one, and drivin' slow
E
Just easin' along with the flow
B A E
I say paradise is relative, I say paradise is where I live
Chorus:
A E
And I've been around here, ever since I been around
A E
And I was born here, and I'll be buried in this ground
B A E G
Down in the bottom of Texas, just south of the Nueces
E
And I'm still hanging out with all the same dudes that I run around with in school
E A
We get together nowadays and lie about the things we used to do.
E
yeah, the things we used to do
B A E
No the good Lord don't put you in Hell for sittin' around with a friend and drinking a beer or two
Chorus
A E
And I've been around here, ever since I been around
A E
Yeah and I was born here, and I'll be buried in this ground
B A E G
Way down in the bottom of Texas, yeah, just south of the Nueces
