Intro:  C  G  F  C

C
Some kids grew up on mean streets

Dealin' with the crips and bloods

But me I was born on a back road
     F   Bb                  C
In a 4X4 rollin' through the mud 

The street kid deals with the dealer

And he's always watchin' his back

Me, I'm watchin' a line, with a woman of mine
F           Bb         C
Down by the creek bank shack 

C
Give me .308 and a shotgun
      Bb        F        C
And a gallon of homemade wine

Drop me off on a mountainside
          G 
Where the bear and the deer reside
     Bb                      F
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire
Bb          F      C
Makin' this guitar ring

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines
          Bb          G        C
While the world goes down the drain 
VERSE 2
C
Just to dwell on life in the city

Is makin' my blood run cold

'Cause miles and miles of concrete
      F          Bb    C
Eats away at the human soul 
C
When you live and die in the country

There's a little that your heart can mourn

With your hands in the dirt and a little work
        F       Bb      C
You can weather out any storm 
REPAET CHORUS
BREAK: Bb  C  Bb F  C  Bb  C  Bb  F  G  F  Bb
REPEAT CHORUS


I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines 
          Bb         G        C
While the world goes down the drain 
REPEAT INTRO CHORD PROGRESSION AND FADE
