Intro:

Em G C   Em G C


Verse 1:
Em                      G
There's still only four digits in our population
C
We're still keepin' things just the way God made it
Em                               G
There's been some old city folks tryna come in to change it
C
Wouldn't trade them square forty fields for one inch of pavement
Em                    G
We're still hollerin' up in them hills
  C
A reckon that we always will

Chorus:
            Em                       G                   C
We're still keepin' them parking lot half-ton circled on up
                                              Em
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup
                      G
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did
C
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets
Em                        G
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town
C                                                       Em  G C
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down


Verse 2:
Em                         G
There's still thirty-fives rollin' down the blacktop
C
Still ridin' 'round this little bitty map dot
Em                          G
And you can finally set the corner for a case of 'em
C
'Cause nothin' changed from the days when we knew nothin' but


Chorus:
Em                       G                   C
Keepin' them parking lot half-ton circled on up
                                              Em
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup
                      G
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did
C
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets
Em                        G
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town
C                                                       Em
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down

                                 G
'Cause you're proud of where you came from
           C
Holdin' it down, it's the way that you were raised up


Chorus:
Em                       G                   C
