[Intro]
E - A - C#m - A
[Verse 1]
E
You get your hands in it, Plant your roots in it
A C#m A
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it
E
You write her name on it, Spin your tires on it
A
Build your corn field, whiskey Bonfires on it
C#m A
You bet your life on it
E
It's that elm shade Red roads clay you grew up on
A
That plowed up ground That your dad Damned his luck on
C#m
That post game party field You circled up on
A
And when it rains You get stuck on
E
Drift a cloud back Behind county roads That you run up
A
The mud on her jeans That she peeled off And hung up
C#m A
Her blue eyed Summer time smile Looks so good that it hurts
C#m
Makes you wanna build A 10 percent down,
B E - A - C#m - A
White picket fence house on this dirt
E
You?ve mixed some sweat with it Taken a shovel to it
A
You?ve stuck some crosses and some painted Goal posts through it
C#m A
You know you came from it, And some day you?ll return to this
[Chorus]
E
Elm shade red roads clay You grew up on
A
That plowed up ground That your dad Damned his luck on
C#m
That post game party field You circled up on
A
And when it rains You get stuck on
E
Drift a cloud back Behind county roads That you run up
A
The mud on her jeans That she peeled off And hung up
C#m A
Her blue eyed Summer time smile Looks so good that it hurts
C#m
Makes you wanna build A 10 percent down,
B E - A
White picket fence house on this dirt
C#m A
You know you came from it, and Some day you'll return to this
[Chorus/Outro]
E
Elm shade red roads clay You grew up on
A
That plowed up ground That your dad Damned his luck on
C#m
That post game party field You circled up on
A
And when it rains You get stuck on
E
Drift a cloud back Behind county roads That you run up
A
The mud on her jeans That she peeled off And hung up
C#m A
Her blue eyed Summer time smile Looks so good that it hurts
C#m
Makes you wanna build A 10 percent down,
B E
White picket fence house on this dirt
C#m
Makes you wanna build A 10 percent down,
B E - A
White picket fence house on this dirt
C#m A E
You know you came from it, and some day you'll return to it.
