Intro: E MajorE A augmentedA (x2)
verse 1
E MajorE
How do you turn a scholarship down,
A augmentedA
Tear up a ticket, already punched,
E MajorE
And watch a dream die?
E MajorE
Who's gonna tell me how
A augmentedA
To face Daddy
E MajorE
And watch Momma cry?
BB
Have I thrown my future away?
A augmentedA
Played my last football game?
BB
It all seems so strange
A augmentedA
That in just one night
BB
Your whole life can change.
A augmentedA
Wish this old John Deere had wings
E MajorE BB
And this cotton row was an airstrip
A augmentedA BB (quick hit)
Way outta here.
A augmentedA
Wish this high noon Georgia sun
E MajorE BB
Could melt what's been done
A augmentedA
Make it disappear.
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA
If I could leave, I'd be gone,
A augmentedA G# minorG#m F# minorF#m BB
But that's just one more thing done wrong
By this small town favorite son.
verse 2
E MajorE
By fall they're all gonna know
A augmentedA
Our little secret
E MajorE
My baby holds inside.
E MajorE
By then she'll be startin' to show,
A augmentedA
And I'll be the husband
E MajorE
To a shotgun bride.
BB
I already miss that sound
A augmentedA
The marching bands and the cheering crowds.
BB
Stuck here in this red dirt ground
A augmentedA BB
Knowin' I, I let everybody down.
A augmentedA
Wish this old John Deere had wings
E MajorE BB
And this cotton row was an airstrip
A augmentedA BB (quick hit)
Way outta here.
A augmentedA
Wish this high noon Georgia sun
E MajorE BB
Could melt what's been done
A augmentedA
Make it disappear.

If I could leave, I'd be gone,

But that's just one more thing done wrong
By this small town favorite son.
Outro
A augmentedA
This high noon Georgia sun
E MajorE BB
Can't melt what's been done.
A augmentedA
Girl, I be right here
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA
I don't know much about life
A augmentedA G# minorG#m F# minorF#m BB
But I know what's right
N.C
For this small town favorite son.
