D5         F              G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets

Dm                           Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate

F                       Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine

         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time

F                  G
The old days, when love was real

       Dm                         Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still

The old days, those days are gone

So I cherish the memories of the place I call home, oh yeah
[Verse]
Dm        F                            G
There's a bridge on River Road where I painted my name

       Dm                          Dm          D
With a couple of buddies with John Deere spray paint

           F                            G
We used to smoke on the green after the sun hit the hay

            Dm                      Dm
And made it home by nine or daddy's temper would blaze

        F                                    G
In them high-school front doors, shit we was straight out the back

        Dm                                Dm
Sittin' in a deer stand chewin' Redman up by the pack

              F                        G
Them straight pipes on the 5.7 made us feel badass

        Dm                                 Dm
Sittin' in the senior parkin' lot crankin' up Johnny Cash

           F                         G
My grades, they wasn't great, but my heart is nothin' but gold

   Dm                                   Dm
Hospitality's priceless, it ain't 'bout tradin' a soul

   F                                    G
So before you judge my cover, won't you dive in my soul

              Dm                          Dm
And learn I'm from another life, I'm like 200 years old
[Chorus]
Dm         F              G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets

     Dm                      Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate

F                  Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine

         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time

F                  G
The old days, when love was real

       Dm                         Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still

F             G
The old days, those days are gone

Gm   Dm                          Dm           F      G      Dm   Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah

F        G    Dm
Oooooh yeeeeeeah
[Verse 2]
Dm     F                       G              Gm
When I show up to a show, everybody knows I'm fuckin' there

Dm                                 Dm
Walk by like I'm stuck in silence, let the folks with cameras stare

F                                   G           Gm
I'm there to put my county on, with muddy water in my veins

Dm                                  Dm
Countless nights on Indian Springs, prayin' I would catch my dream

F                                   Gm
When Paw Paw went to heaven, let me tell you, I was lost in life

Dm                                Dm                       D
Almost got fronted them pounds to help keep on my families lights

F                                    G
But then I walked to a church in the midst of the night

         Dm                          Dm
Put some tears on the tulips and the creation was bright

           F                             G
And I knew at that very moment the fight I's about to pick involved

Dm                            Dm
Cowboy boots, guitars and not givin' a shit

D         F                                    G
So let me write to the beat of my two clickin' Tony Lama's

          Dm                           D5
Live in a trailer with my family and a few saved up dollars
N.C. Church [Chorus]
F                         G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets

     Dm                      Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate

    F                   Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine

         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time

    F              G
The old days, when love was real

       Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still

    F               Gm
The old days, those days are gone

     Dm                                       F      G      Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah
