♫ Verse 1:
C                    F
Crossing over county lines
C                             F
Sunlight breaking through the pines
C                         F
Bible quotes on billboard signs
                  C     F
Don't change your mind

♫ Verse 2:
          C                        F
There's a reason I don't come back here
  C                   F
Except a couple times a year
      C           F
Where familiarity and fear
     C      F
Intertwine


♫ Chorus:
F                         C
If there's one thing I've found
          G                  Am
You can't change the way you sound
        F               C              G
You can only change the words that you choose
       F              C
So I'm putting in the work
        G              Am
And I'm digging in the dirt
        F             G        C      F   C   F
And I'm replanting my southern roots


♫ Verse 3:
C                   F
Haunted by the history
C                    F
Tangled in my family tree
C                   F
Hate disguised as reverie
           C     F
As if by design


♫ Verse 4:
          C                       F
Oh, those boys back home are much too proud
        C                  F
Of this god-forsaken battleground
         C                          F
And that flag that they still won't take down
          C          F
After all this time


♫ Chorus:
F                             C
And if there's one thing I've found
          G                  Am
You can't change the way you sound
        F               C              G
You can only change the words that you choose
       F              C
So I'm putting in the work
        G              Am
And I'm digging in the dirt
        F             G        C      F   C   F
And I'm replanting my southern roots

          C                 F
There's a great responsibility
     C                     F
That comes with this geography
         C                        F
So right here, I'll plant a brand-new seed
             C     F
And watch it grow


♫ Chorus:
F                             C
And if there's one thing I've found
          G                  Am
You can't change the way you sound
        F               C              G
