Sells tomatoes from the back of his pickup truck
A                F#m
Reads the Bible line for line
G                      D
While sipping on some home-made wine
A             F#m             G

My Dad's got a crippled hand, a casualty of Vietnam
A                          F#m            G
But he's still down at the sawmill every day
        A                    F#m
Oh and first thing 'fore the break of dawn

We come from back in the hollers
E
We got sweat on our blue collars
A                                   D
The living's hard but the living's good

You see God sent the heavens down

And hung 'em 'round my neck of the woods

A                   F#m         G            D
Just as sure as the river flows we take care of our own
A                  F#m               G
Step right up when someone needs a friend
A                 F#m
Last year on the Johnson farm
   G                  D
A fire wiped out the house and barn
A                     F#m                    G
The whole town showed up to build 'em back again, alright
