Fmaj7
I was raised off of Rural Route 3
C
Out past where the blacktop ends

We'd walk to church on Sunday morning
Bb   Dm       Gm                F
Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence

That's where I first saw Mary

On that roadside picking blackberries

I tore it all to pieces

I learned the path to heaven

Is full of sinners and believers

Learned that happiness on earth

Ain't just for high achievers
Gm
I've learned,

I've come to know

There's life at both ends
C           F
Of that red dirt road

Her daddy didn't like me much

Throw rocks at her bedroom window

I went out into the world

And I came back in

I lost Mary,

Oh I got her back again
Bb               F
And driving home tonight,
F                Bb               C
Feels like I've found a long lost friend
