INTRO: D Dmaj7 Bm G
VERSE ONE:
D Dmaj7
Why would any teenage boy cut grass
Bm
Sweat all summer, savin' cash
G
Dream about turnin' heads downtown
G
Straight pipes on a hand-me-down
D Dmaj7
And how would anybody's daddy get around
Dmaj7 Bm
To mend the fences and feed the cows
Bm G
Where the hell would a small town girl climb up
G D Dmaj7
If it wasn't for trucks
CHORUS:
D A
And where would I have raised all that hell
A Em
And talked to God all by myself
G
How would I have got to Tennessee
G D
Without a bucket seat
D
Where was I supposed to cry
A
That July day Grand daddy died
Em
Or haul that deer, drink that beer
G
Fell in and out of love
D Dmaj7
If it wasn't for trucks
VERSE TWO:
D Dmaj7
Where would I've first heard Merle
G
Got the nerve to kiss a green eyed girl
G
Where would old dogs ride
G
And where would life fly by
CHORUS:
D A
And where would I have raised all that hell
A Em
And talked to God all by myself
G
How would I have got to Tennessee
G D
Without a bucket seat
D
Where was I supposed to cry
A
That July day Grand daddy died
Em
Or haul that deer, drink that beer
G
Fell in and out of love
D A
If it wasn't for trucks
POST-CHORUS:
A Em G
Yeah, if it wasn't for trucks
BRIDGE:
Em G Em
Well, I wouldn't be who I am today
Em G
If it wasn't for a short bed Chevrolet
CHORUS:
D Dmaj7
And where would I have raised all that hell
Em
And talked to God all by myself
G
How would I have got to Tennessee
G
And where would I be
D
Where was I supposed to cry
A
That July day Granddaddy died
Em
Or haul that deer, drink that beer
G G D G
And fell in and out of love
G D A
If it wasn't for trucks
