[Intro]
D Am C G x 3 times
D Am
I remember long ago when I was just a boy
C G
Raised in the country that have old country stores
D Am
Chasing shadows down the road I remember well
C G
Every story that my mama told in a house near the well
[Chorus]
D Am C G
So I'll stay in the country, that's where I was born
D Am C G
Live my life by in Caro- lina, that's where I be- long
D Am
I remember Sunday evening sitting outside
C G
With all my uncles and my daddy by my side
D Am
We played those old songs too, we brought the night in
C G
At the house in the country air I remember then
[Chorus]
D Am C G
So I'll stay in the country, that's where I was born
D Am C G
Live my life by in Caro- lina, that's where I be- long
[Solo]

So I'll stay in the country, that's where I was born
D Am C G
Live my life by in Caro- lina, that's where I be- long
[Chorus]
D Am C G
So I'll stay in the country, that's where I was born
D Am C G
Live my life by in Caro- lina, that's where I be- long
