Verse 1: N.C. D Am Empty again, I hit the liquor drawer today Em Damn that retched captain led me down the wrong way D Tried to numb the pain, I ended up drowning in a sea Am Em Of lies and promises that somebody made to me D Tried to crack the riddle, I got caught staring at the cystal ball Am Em I saw a beam of light shining down on a woman bathing under a waterfall D She caught me staring but just smiled and beckoned me to come Am Em She said, "I like your style. Won't you stay for a while? And tell me where did you come from "
Chorus: Em D I grew up in the holler, raised in the bitter cold Am Am G Em Times got rough, but it made me tough and I dug out of that 'ole hole D I learned to live off the land, how to hunt and how to shoot Am Em Well I'm a country boy and I don't wanna wear nothin' but jeans, a flannel, and boots Solo: Em D Am Em X4 Verse 2: D Hey now macho man, tell what're you doing here? Am Em I can see the hurting in your eyes as you throw back another beer D Don't you miss those teenage days Am Em When we could wake up in the morning and not need pills or a pair of shades D Easy on the eyes, easy does it, but somehow not for me Am Em I can't see too far, just what we are is emotional chemistry D Jack of all trades, a jackal, sent to steal my heart away Am Em Well my heart ain't sold and no amount of gold is gonna lead my soul astray Chorus 2: Em D I grew up in the holler, raised in the bitter cold Am Am G Em Times got rough, but it made me tough and I dug out of that 'ole hole D Big bug in a suit and tie wearing shiny funeral shoes Am Em Well I'm a country boy and I don't wanna wear nothing but jeans, a flannel, and boots Solo: Em D Am Em X2 Bridge: C B7 The weather we got coming's always subject to change C D Em Come snow or shine I'm gonna wear the same damn thing Chorus: Em D Cuz I grew up in the holler, raised in the bitter cold Am Em The last best place on earth is where this good 'ole boy calls home D I learned to live off the land, how to cast and how to shoot Am Em Well I'm a country boy and I don't wanna wear nothin' but jeans, a flannel, and boots Em D Am G Em And a ball cap too
