[Chorus]
A G
Everybody’s got their little slice of heaven
D A
Mine’s in the Georgia pines
G
7 miles east of wildcat creek
D A
If you blink it’ll pass you by
A G
Granddaddy walked barefoot
D
Up and down this road
A
Now I am too
I’m learing how to live
G
Walking this dirt
D A
Where he was walking to school
[Refrain]
A
Oh oh oh
G
No. 7 road
D
Won’t you take me home
A G
Out there where my roots run deep
D A
Strong just like that old oak tree
A
Oh oh oh
G D
You’re running in my blood
A
Built in my bones
A
I’m who I am
G E A (3x)
From where I stand, on the old no.7 road
[Chorus]
A G
There’s 7 of us sitting round the table
D A
At supper time
G
Now I’m 7 states away, but my mind still stays
D A
Right there when I close my eyes
A G
Still tryna fix that barbed fence
D A
Or sitting on a back porch swing
G
No. 7 was the place where I was raised
D A
Now I’m picking this old 6-string
[Refrain]
A
Oh oh oh
G
No. 7 road
D
Won’t you take me home
A G
Out there where my roots run deep
D A
Strong just like that old oak tree
A
Oh oh oh
G D
You’re running in my blood
A
Built in my bones
A
I’m who I am
G E
From where I stand, on the old no.7 road

Everybody’s got their little slice of heaven

Mine’s in the Georgia pines
