Good Country Song

INTRO:

A  E  D


VERSE 1:

A
Shotgun in my daddy's truck
E
Eight years old and acting tough
   D
He smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears"
A
He would search that "fm" dial
    E
And I would count down every mile
        D
Til the station out of Tulsa came in clear
           F#m                  E
It was old Thomas Conley on the radio
   D                              B7
It punched me in the gut, man, it rattled my soul


CHORUS:
                   A    E       D
I'm talking bout a good country song

Makes you smile, makes you hurt

Leaves you hanging on every word
  A    E       D
A good country song

Makes you love, makes you leave

Raise some hell or hit your knees
F#m
All I know is I think of home
     E
Grab my guitar and strum along
D                                 B7
Kick on back and sip me something strong
              D    E       A
When I hear a good country song


VERSE 2:
      A
While hip-hop, rap, and rock were cool
      E
I was in my basement getting schooled
   D
On George and Keith and Vernon Alabama
A
I was learning bout those neon lights
E
Wasted days and wasted nights
    D
And honky-tonks from Texas to Montana
            F#m
And when my fingers found the fret board
  E
I close my eyes and sing
  D                              B7
I swear that beat up guitar only played one thing


CHORUS:
                   A    E       D
I'm talking bout a good country song

Makes you smile, makes you hurt

Leaves you hanging on every word
  A    E       D
A good country song

Makes you love, makes you leave

Raise some hell or hit your knees
F#m
All I know is I think of home
     E
Grab my guitar and strum along
D                                 B7
Kick on back and sip me something strong
              D    E       A
When I hear a good country song



OUTRO:

         F#m
Yeah, it makes me think of days long gone
E
Miss my dad and call my mom
D                                   B7
Run, laugh, and pray, and drink til dawn
              D    E
When I hear a good country
  D        E
A good old country
   D   E       A
a good country song
