Aaron Watson – They Dont Make Em Like They Used To (Guitar)

    G                             Bm
Bluebonnets down a long stretch of hill country highway

Em                           C
Windows down, radio up, ride shotgun next to you

         G                               Bm
You were smoking Camel Lights behind the wheel I can still hear you say

      Em                                           C (x2)
Three hundred thousand miles you can't beat an ol' beat up Chevrolet (No Sir)

     G                                Bm
Well Granny's in the kitchen, smell of fried chicken frying

      Em                            C
She's cooking in her apron singing along with Patsy Cline

        G                              Bm
Playin' ball in the front yard, little sister runs in crying

    Em                                C (x2)
She climbs up in her arms, I hear her laughing through the old screen door

           G
They don't make 'em like they used to

           Bm

Well the days have changed since the golden days in some ways we've come so far

      Em                                    C
But I never dreamed we'd trade the American Dream for a fancy foreign car

        G                             Bm
Have we sold our souls to save a buck, traded hard work for dumb luck

         Em                              C
And those old country songs are sounding better than ever before

So you live the kind of life so long after you're long gone

              Em                                C
You'll always be there in their hearts and your love light will shine on

        G                              Bm
And someday they'll sit around down at John T's Country Store

           Em                               C
They'll be laughing over stories you told a thousand times before, saying

C                               G  Bm  C

Well no news is good news, tell me whose news really tells the truth

Em                               C
The death toll rises high as gas prices shoot straight through the roof

    G                                   Bm
Meanwhile politicians preach, while some preachers politic

        Em                                 C
Well we need is lots of love, yeah lots of love might do the trick

           G                             Bm
Instead we criticize, we glamorize who's right or wrong, who's left or right

        Em                                       C
Missing out on so many beautiful colors fighting over what's black and white

      G                                    Bm
We've gotta forgive, gotta learn to live together, make the world a better place

         Em                                    C
And just maybe someday somebody somewhere will look back on today

C
Look back on us and say
