Verse 1:
C              F        C
My family tree is a Georgia pine
 F          C
These roots run through this heart of mine
 F           Am7
Till the last straw falls and the Redwood rots
 F       C
This one here is the one I got
 F         C
How far back Do you trace the blood?
 F        C
How hard were the winters when you were young?
 F         Am7
When your old man struggled did you watch him drink?
 F       C
When the lord stop talking did the whiskey speak?

Chorus:
 F                C
The more I live, the less I blame
 F                               C

Did you think about running when your eyes turned red?

Or did you only stay 'cause Jesus said
