[Intro]
C Em F G C Em F G
[Verse]
C Em
It was '96 in South Carolina
F G
That's the place and not the goddamn year
C Em
Sittin' on the porch out at Bobby's place
F G
Just tuggin' on a Lukewarm beer
[Pre-Chorus]
F Dm
And there I was peepin' like an old sidewinder
F Dm
Just an inch or so above the mud
Am F
The first to find out that it's rainin'
C G
Is the last to find out it's a flood
[Verse]
C Em
And it was paradise valley Nevada
F G
Not far from where the west was won
C Em
I am the only black face in the whole damn place
F G
Just a raisin' in the blazing sun
[Pre-Chorus]
F Dm
And there I am like that old sidewinder
F Dm
Just wishin' that her eggs ain't hatched
Am F
And the chain I wear has 'em wishin' for the day
C G
When it came with a ball attached
[Chorus]
C Em F
So I'm gonna move, right outta this town
G C Em F
This old skin, stops weighing me down
G
This old skin
[Bridge]
F Dm
He was sittin' in the very same spot that Otis
C Am
Sat to watch the dock of the bay
Bb Dm
In the very same spot, that the ships rolled in
G
Now there's nothin' but the mud and the clay
[Chorus]
C Em F
I'm gonna move, right outta this town
G C Em F
This old skin is weighing me down
G
This old skin
[Instrumental]
C Em F G
[Verse]
C Em
Outside Orlando in the sunshine state
F G
Has just upped itself another degree
C Em
I am the very last orange of the whole year's crop
F G
Hangin' dearly to the branch of the tree
[Pre Chorus]
F Dm
And the wind and the spring couldn't do anything
F Dm
So I'm burnin' in the sun of the south
Am F
That old sidewinder in the dust below
C G
I'm just waiting till it opens its mouth
[Chorus]
C Em F
So I'm gonna move, right outta this town
G C Em F
When this old skin, finally touches the ground
G
This old skin
[Bridge]
F Dm
He was sittin' in the very same spot that Otis
C Am
Sat to watch the dock of the bay

In the very same spot, that the ships rolled in

[Chorus]

Now, I'm gonna move, right outta this town
