                Yeah
[Verse 1]
A
Seven generations from a dirt road corn crop

C                     D
Boots ain't ever seen easy street

        A
Where a skeeter gets slapped 'bout as fast a star drops

C                      D
Roots run deep in this family tree
[Pre-Chorus]
A   G    D/F#
Ooh-ooh, bust your ass, still won't make a killin'

A   G           D/F#
Ooh-ooh, it's a lifestyle, it ain't a livin'
[Chorus]
         A                           G
From the red, white, and blue flyin' high at the farm

       D
To the Boone and Crockett stud on the wall in the barn

          A                          G
Where the magnolias bloom, there's a lab on the lawn

           D                        A
Where your buddy and your boat both got the name John

A
In God, we trust

  G
Detroit, we rust

D
Redneck letter testifyin'

         A
From the born in the cut

         G
Till the day that I'm dust

I'ma stay country or die tryin'
[Verse 2]
        A
I don't do much thinkin' 'bout time in a pine box

C                  D
Sure as hell ain't scared to go

      A
I'm a hardheaded God, fearin' man from the boondocks

C                      D
Chisel that shit on my cobble head stone
[Pre-Chorus]
A   G    D/F#
Ooh-ooh, bible, and an almanac up on the shelf

A   G    D/F#
Ooh-ooh, Daddy prayed for rain, Momma prayed for me to stay out of hell
[Chorus]
         A                           G
From the red, white, and blue flyin' high at the farm

       D
To the Boone and Crockett stud on the wall in the barn

          A                          G
Where the magnolias bloom, there's a lab on the lawn

           D                        A
Where your buddy and your boat both got the name John

A
In God, we trust

  G
Detroit, we rust

D
Redneck letter testifyin'

         A
From the born in the cut

         G
Till the day that I'm dust

D/F#
I'ma stay country or die tryin'
[Guitar Solo]
A G D   A G D

Ooh-ooh, baptize me where the waters real muddy

Ooh-ooh, wash me clean, still come up country
[Chorus]
         A                           G
From the red, white, and blue flyin' high at the farm
