Don't Forget Where You Come From chords by Kyle Park

Intro D  G

D
I remember my old man
D
He worked in the oil fields
                                               G
And I could never understand why
D
The dirt and greese on his hands
D
Driving home at sundown
                                            G
Making just enough to get us by

                A                                               G
When I left home I swore I'd make it rich some other way
            A                                                  Em               D               G
I didn't know where I was going but my dad would always say
                  D                                        G                                                D         G
"Pray out loud, make us proud, and son don't forget where you come from."

D
A few years out on the road
D
Working on the high lines
                                   G
I got laid off in the spring
D
I mowed yards and sold used cars
D
I worked nights down at the bars
                                            G
Yeah I tried damn near everything

A                                     G
I had to find my own way no matter what he said
A                                                           Em      D       G
But the sound of his voice was still ringing in my head
                   D                                       G                                                   Bm G Bm G
"Pray out loud, make us proud, and son don't forget where you come from"

         A                                           G
And I went home to be by daddy's side before he passed away
A                                                  Em   D            G
And I never will forget the last words I heard him say
                D                                     G                                      D           G
"Pray out loud, make us proud, and son don't forget where you come from"

D
Now I'm breaking ground on my own
D
Oceans of oil fields
                                             G
And my hands get dirty every day
D
A big house in San Antone
D
I'm living the good life
                                        G
But my home seems far away

A                                              G
No matter where I am each night before I fall asleep
A                                          Em     D         G
I'll always think of what my daddy said to me
                   D                                      G                                          D
"Pray out loud, make us proud and son don't forget to pray out loud make us
                    G                                                D         G
Proud, and son don't forget where you come from"

D
I remember my old man
D
He worked in the oil fields
                                      G
And now I understand why
