As recorded by Brantley Gilbert (From the 2022 Album SO HELP ME GOD - DELUXE EDITION) [Intro] D G Bm7 A [Verse 1]
  Bm7                A
I stopped by old man Dolby's store

    G
For cold ones on the way

   Bm7               A
We bagged 'em up and dropped 'em down

    G
Out back, by our old place

   Bm7
It won't take long

         A
A simple man's on

    G
Somebody says your name

    Em7              D
And I can't help but wonder

          G
If you're up there doing the same
[Chorus]
             D
Sipping on a cold gold can

                      A
Reminiscing with some long-lost friends

        Bm7
Blowing smoke and joking

A                  G
Laughing 'bout the hell we raised down here

                   D
Do you ever get to kick it with the man?

                          A
Did he tell you when he's coming back again?

        Em            D           G
Does he sing along to Skynyrd on 11

       A            D        G
On the tailgates of heaven?
[Verse 2]
      Bm          A                 G
Well, almost everything in this old fire has burned before

     Bm                 A                        G
Some midnight memories, black beer cans and that bourbon bottle's yours

         Bm7            A              G
It's the same old boys, same old story stretching out the truth

   Em7                  D                     G
We all know something's missing and, brother, we all know it's you
[Chorus]
             D
Sipping on a cold gold can

                      A
Reminiscing with some long-lost friends

        Bm7
Blowing smoke and joking

A                  G
Laughing 'bout the hell we raised down here

                   D
Do you ever get to kick it with the man?

                          A
Did he tell you when he's coming back again?

        Em            D           G
Does he sing along to Skynyrd on 11

       A            D        G
On the tailgates of heaven?

                    Bm      A
On the tailgates of heaven?
[Bridge]
  Em             D                        G
Remember when we thought that nights like this would last forever?

        Em                 D
Well, I still believe they do

          G
They just go down somewhere better
[Chorus]
             D
Sipping on a cold gold can

                      A
Reminiscing with some long-lost friends

        Bm7
Blowing smoke and joking

A                  G
Laughing 'bout the hell we raised down here

                   D
Do you ever get to kick it with the man?

                          A

        Em            D           G
Does he sing along to Skynyrd on 11

                 Em
Yeah, tell Saint Pete

             G
To save me a seat

       A            D      G
On the tailgates of heaven

                    Bm7    A
On the tailgates of heaven
